There were 5481 L79 equipped Novas in 1966 with only 6 made in 1967. I believe that not all the L79 cars were SS, you could order the engine in a plain post sedan..super sleeper!

Re: American Muscle Car...
 

It may refer to the number of non-SS cars that were produced with that engine. Just a guess, have to do some Nova homework to be sure.

Re: American Muscle Car...
 

200 is a number that is to generally state how many non-ss L79 post cars were produced in '66, usually preceded by 'less than' bec/ nobody truly knows. Carl Riegger of Allentown, PA is the guru on non-SS post L79 Novas.

Alan DeCadanet know his "Lucas electrical" British cars but when it comes to American Muscle,all he can add to the conversation is "lump" when he's referring to a ZL-1 or a Hemi car.

I'm guessing Brock works for the no-host bar... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Brits term for all engines is a lump....kind of a windscreen, nearside, bonnett thing? . And Lucas electrical systems....the real reason Brits like warm beer? ~ Pete

Re: American Muscle Car...
 

Lucas is reffered to in England as the "Prince of Darkness".
The reason why they don't make computers in England is that they have not yet figured out how to get them to leak oil.

The Yenko Nova they show on the track and the feature that they do on the Deuce were my car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif The previous owner Neal Robbins had the car at the Pure Stock Drags in MI in 1997 and that is when that was shot.

With 900 cars going over the block and each car representing a variant of what the manufacture produced and then the modified cars it would be impossible for a commentator to accurately describe every car. In most cases they are commenting from a cheat sheet and its a case of GIGO. Brock's comment on whether a Z28 had a powerglide was rediculous. Allan DeCadanet should stick with the Jags only.
He is very critical of the restorations and under those lights it is hard to see what the defects are in a car and it makes perfect cars look bad. It is usually all about color. Decadanet often makes comments about panel fit. He has obviouly never restored a car, some panels were never made to fit- period. The whole BJ thing is entertaiment and when has entertainment tried to research the complete truth.
I will be there Wed to Sunday to be entertained. For buying and selling cars I like to do that face to face with the buyer or seller.
