Good car. Actually it was called a Concours, but the same drive train and body as a Nova. Except for the rear windows and half vinyl roof. Nice car for 1000 dollars. It had a 305 small block V8 and was easy to work on.Sep 24, 2010

Performance - acceleration: Not very good with the straight six in it now, but
swap it for that V8 and you have a tire screacher. Braking: Average
performance. Handling: Above Average performance for a car of it's size, has
built in sway bars and performance shocks.
Build Quality - Needs many many repairs and constant work to bring to wanted
appearance and performance, but it is a classic Chevy and is solid as a rock.
Appearance - nothing to really drool at as of now, needs some interior work,
but with some time and a new coat of paint, it's looks will be more than
menacing.
Cost of Ownership - Gas mileage: Poor until converted from carb to fuel
injection-15/22 mpg. Maintenance: More than average, but cheap to repair and
very very simple to work on.
Fun Factor - Sounds deep and muscular and is a beast, light on steering
suprisingly, can corner nicely, but no zip from the current engine.May 26, 2010

My first car, standard blue fordor, auto (3 speed,)
bench, It was what it was, as it were. Very cheap to
maintain, just rusted out eventually.
Lots of understeer, minimal handling. Indestructible
blue-flame 6, but otherwise a fine example of planned
obsolescence.Feb 19, 2010

The Chevy Nova Concours was kind of ugly. But it is a chevy so I like it anyways. It was a solid car with not many problems. Drove well for a big car and pretty fast too. But still a big houpty.Aug 11, 2009

Nothing special yet. Slowly building it into a drag car. New suspension, custom interior, custom exhaust, building a 406ci (6.6 liters) v8 to drop into it. Going to be a sleeper till I am able to do a frame-up restoration.May 15, 2008

Replacing a Chevy Nova Engine, Transmission & Carburetor
Is it feasible replacing a 1977 Chevy Nova's engine, transmission and carburetor with those from a 1972 Ford LTD? I own both cars and would like to replace my 305 with the 438, if possible, if my expenses are not great. Thanks!

1977 carburetor connections
I took pictures of the carburetor and the hoses, and where the hoses went. I since then have lost the pictures. I'm having trouble with the diagram. Can someone tell me if these connections are ok and if not, where they go. Also I have this one (that I'm holding) that wasn't connected and I'm not sure where it goes. Original wiring diagram is either scraped off or painted over.

1977 Chevy Nova wont start?
I own a 77 Nova and for a while it would run perfect and drive just fine. Then one day I went to go drive it but it wont start at all. It will crank but not fully start. I have switched the battery, the spark pluges, the starter. Sometimes it would start but only for a few seconds.
