1974 Chevrolet Nova Base review from North America
"An economy car, that could easily become a street machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A common problem that I had, which many other owners of Chevy L6 250 c.i. had, was that the intake manifolds bolts came loose, thus creating less vacuum so the engine would run poorly or not at all, also it leaked the critical atomized air/fuel mixture.
General comments?
The bench seats are some of the most comfortable seats that I have ever sat in, if Chevy did one thing right on that car it was the interior.
