i found a 75 nova in a junk yard that had a 6cyl and auto trans, don't know what gears(don't care). are the multi leafs it has on it the same size as for my car?can i use the staggered shock plates? its going into a 67 convertible with mono springs.my car has traction bars on it from the previous owner so it has no shock plates
what else do i need.what else can i re-use from the nova?
thanks, adam

Adam,
I wouldn't use the springs. They're 30 years old. Buy new one's. Do a search and you'll find lots of info on where to buy a set.... like through J.C. Whitney, or any of the aftermarket suppliers.
As for the shocks, use the shock plates you have on your Camaros rear end, or buy new one's for a '67 through the aftermarket.

Are you just after the springs, or the rear end too? Some of the later Novas with the 6 cylinder had the 7.5 10 bolt.

i am mainly after the rear-end. according to the novaresource.com,the only available rear was an 8.5 10 bolt.i was just hoping i could re-use as much as
possible.
thanks, adam

Better check it out well. It would be a shame to get it out and find out that it is the 7.5 instead of the 8.5. The '76 and later 6 cylinder cars had the 7.5, and it's possible that this one could too.

I got fooled by the Nova 7.5 a few years ago. Luckily I only paid $50 bucks for it. Also, luckily the local landfill agreed to take it.
