Raluek posted:The Nova is a leaf spring rear, isn't it? Lots easier to U-bolt a perch to that, than the cast-in upper 4-link eyelets on the A-body. That probably opens your options considerably. Yes nova's were leaf spring rears - Boaz MacPhereson posted:Yep. I'm not sure how or where they drew the lines for single-leaf or multi-leaf, but my factory rear was a single leaf and the 8.5" I grabbed out of the junkyard '73 was multi. Camaro axles will bolt in as well I believe. 6 vs 8 - the 6cyl novas had the mono leafs for comfort and the 8cyl cars had multi leaf for SPPPEEEEEEDDDD - my springs were totally toasted on my nova, the answer? taller rear shackles and traction bars. In all honesty, coil spring / trailing arm cars ride and handle soooo much better than leaf sprung cars. I see this thread and it makes me want a muscle car again, but then I remember that the muscle cars were the test bed for every shady "im a mechanic" type. seeing the types of fasteners that are coming out of your car, the neglect - I remember the struggles I had with my nova.
