I love how he is shifting the column shifter very cool. Oh man using a Quadra jet and he tuning that carburetor and messing around with the metering rods love it old school. Another SUPER COOL CAR and VERY COOL VIDEO totally awesome. What is cool also that you could drive the car to the track have fun and drive it home. If I could I would give it two thumbs up great contact.
He is right about the suspension and the exhaust on those X-bodies. My Ventura would just keep getting faster and faster with suspension work. It started out running 13.0s and ended running 12.40s with stock LB manifolds, Q-jet and 3.23 gear.
Gotta love it. Really no frills a little tweaking and you got a super respectable car. Love how he's keeping it real. Personally I'd go with a flow master muffler. Either way great Nova!
Loved this video. Keep up the good work Campy. I remember you from the Mustang and fast Ford days. You helped me get my 95 Mustang GT into the mid 13's with a couple of bolt on's.
@@musclecarcampy9922 I would put an electronic ignition conversion kit in the distributer. I did that to my '69 Boss 302 Mustang and gained near 1 second quicker in the 1/4 mile.
I love the way he talks around everything. Did you do anything to the heads no "I haven't touched the heads they were done by Jenkins Competion and bill did the same old clean up like he does to all his cars! Oh yea and by the way the motor is 11 to 1 and runs on race fuel! 🤣🤣🤣 oh yea and I had the cam custom ground to Stock! "SUPER STOCK"
@@musclecarcampy9922 Thanks for the info, I have a 350 HP 1969 Chevelle, and I don't know the production numbers, but the 375 HP is less common. I like the way this little blue nova runs, and the oval port heads can perform well if you know what you are doing. I am also impressed with the Q-jet on this car - I finally switched to a Holley.
Nice car , But that interior is about as bottom shelf as possible , wouldn't want to road trip inside something like that for More then an hour 🤢 The 396 Camaros were so much more comfortable
@@MBailey1977 It was an inexpensive car, but that bench seat wasn't bad. There was a reason Chevy sold millions of them over the years. Solid, dependable cars and, yes, comfortable for a car that size.
Having ridden in a '68 SS 396 Camaro for 500 miles I can tell that you never have ridden in one for very long . Those little bucket seats are no where near as comfortable as a Nova bench seat .

Thanks. Watching him change gears with the column shift was definitely a trip.
I support the driving it to the track and shifting the column shift. Good stuff!

I have a 74 Apollo myself 350 th350 8.5 and stock gears. Bitchn ride
That's a nice Nova my favorite body style
Very cool brother! Rocking back & forth Always makes ya Go FASTER ..
Everyone knows that. .... 😆
Hey, whatever it takes.
This is incredible content! Christopher amazing job dialing in your Super Sport Nova.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for watching. Those were so great times.
Unbelievably clean and sharp!
Another great video, thanks Jim for all your hard work.
My pleasure. Love doing them.
I love tuneing a Q-jet
also recurving the points distributor with a combination of springs and weights. 👍👍👍
This is becoming a lost art. Thanks for watching.

Nice car it runs really strong love the originality 68'thru 72' my favorite bodystyle
Agreed.

Nice nice car love the color and tires on it looks perfect
Check out the new video on his Fathom Blue SS396 that went live a little over a week ago.
one of the original FAST cars was a 396 Nova that ran 12.20's.
Yeah True the 396/375hp Novas were hard to beat. They even had some with the l89 Aluminum Head option
great looking car!
Reminds me of my first car, a green 1971 Nova.
Beautiful Car Engine sounds Awesome
I loved watching him shift with the column-mounted shifter.
thanks again jim, awesome video
My pleasure, sir!
I always liked the Super Sport script on the front fender rockers on a '68. I believe that was the only year for that.
I had a 1968 & yes your correct
Badass !!!
He is my good boss man
Looks like my 70 Nova !
Gently tickle that 👍 & subscribe button
Love it !
We have more coming!
Nice Miranda had one quick
So is he running in the Pure Stock (no mods) class? It certainly seems like it from what he told us.
Yes.
Column shifted automatic?
Yup.
Very cool.
Beautiful car - I thought the 350 HP cars were much more common than the 375 hp cars?
No sir. They only made 234 350hp 396 Chevy II vs. 667 375hp versions. The L78 outsold the lower horse variant in the Nova in ‘69 and ‘70, too.

That’s why you subscribe to Muscle Car Campy. You learn something new every day. LOL. Yes, you can definitely make good power with oval port heads.
Gear it!
Should have asked what gearing he was running....
True enough. He’s running 3.73s.
@@musclecarcampy9922 Thank you. Any idea what gears the 427 camaro was running?
@@johngordon1694 4.10s with an M-20.
Watch the gas pedal when he makes a pass.
He should run the edelbrock performer 2 intake
You have to use the stock intake for this style of racing.
Jay M, doing that, it wouldn't be pure stock anymore.
He said front leaf springs 🤔🤨 what how did you do that 🤫 custom parts -YA it is-
Then he immediately corrected himself and said shocks. Not easy having someone point a camera at you and speaking if you’re not use to it.
Nice car , But that interior is about as bottom shelf as possible , wouldn't want to road trip inside something like that for More then an hour 🤢 The 396 Camaros were so much more comfortable
All the money went into the powerplant, trans and rear. Lucky it even got a seat!
Nobody bought a nova for comfort

NO on 26 and 27
Should be running low 12's.
Maybe you missed the cast exhaust manifolds and full exhaust. It runs just fine.
@@misterhipster9509 So it's just slow.
@@CBDabbs Obviously you know nothing.
@@misterhipster9509 I know it's slow.
Says the Prius owner. This is why your boyfriend cheats on you because you say stupid things.
Badass!
