Re: PSMCDR '68 Nova SS
Muscule Car review had 2 articles on Phil's 1968 Nova (that I have seen). I have them both. On about the pure stock drags and the setup of Phils tricks he used on his Blue Nova. The other was when he raced the Hemi (it did an 11.90's) and beat Phils very low 12 second pass.
Above what people were asking about the springs. The first year at the pure stock drags Phil B. used moroso trick springs but the officials gave him a hazzle so he replaced them with worn out 6 cylander springs. To get the corect ride height with the 6er springs he had to use blocks as well to raise the ride heigth.
It also stated in the article that the car weighed 3240 Lbs without driver.
Phils car is very fast and with slicks I'm sure he would see high 11's He also states the Nova is really not a street car. Many of the mods he did for the track would not be a good idea on the street.
