The reference point on the firewall is a good place but you can also mark the body of the distributor in reference to the rotor. Use tape or a marker. That way when you sit the distributor back in referencing the firewall mark you then line up the marks on the housing to the mark you made on the rotor and tighten it back up and your timing will be perfect. NO need to even check it with a timing light. Thats assuming your timing was correct to begin with..lol

I love your Nova, thanks for sharing.

Lookin good as always ! Keep on truckin !!!! 👍

Lookin to put that same intake in my ‘55. Thanks for the quick vid!

Good video bro, I’m new to working on cars I have a 84 k20 4wd and I put a new carb on it and now I want to get a new intake and some valve covers and some headers your video definitely gave me some confidence with what to do with distributor thanks

Good job as always bro. You remind me of myself about 20 years ago. Keep rocking those Hot rods. 👊✌

Great clear very simple extremely helpful video💯💯🙌🏽

You are right on about the power curves. I swapped out an old edelbrock tarantula open plenum style. On a 406 too a RPM. And drivability was much improved.

Great step by step

This is a great video 👍

I love all the car that you have in all the videos but 1970s Chevy nova is my favor ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️✅

Make it to a shorty! Im from florida n i have couple classics. I have a shorty its a 55 wagon. Havent seen anybody on utube to do this and youll be the first if you do it!

When you installed the distributor cap back on and where the rotor was point did you plug that as your number 1 cylinder to fire or did you just put it cap with the plugs back on and installed them where they were as the firing order just wanna make sure cux i got rpm intake also and i dont wanna mess something up with my timing?

What kind of heads are you installing the intake on? This makes a big difference in order not to have any leaks

👍

I've seen some dyno tests that basically say a duel plane intake is best for a street driven car...I run the edelbrock air gap myself.

I think you make it look too easy.
