No heat from me on owning multiple makes: I have 3 Mopars, 1 Chevy, 1 GMC, 1 Mustang, and a Pathfinder. Each one is a good tool for its job. Need to sell off 1 Mopar (my Breeze) and the Chevy K10, and probably add another Mopar to keep the balance . If you haven't driven one, the M22 makes a nice gear whine from its straight-cut gears, and IIRC M22s have a 2.20 1st gear. I think I mentioned it before that '68-'72 Novas are essentially 1st-gen Camaros with stealthier bodies... Not to but they're finished more nicely than same-year Mopar A-bodies, but a little less roomy inside. I haven't seen a GM or Ford or Nissan site yet that comes close to Moparts, but the info has to be out there somewhere.

I suggested earlier that you visit yenko dot net. There is a thread there about a complete re-do of a 1968 Chevy 2. You will need to ask them questions to get the answers you are looking for. They aren't opposed to Mopars, it's just not their main interest. Here's a link to the 68 Chevy II re-do. -> LINKY thing <-
July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

I'd think a Nova website would have more expertise than here. What a concept!

Asking questions about Cheby's on Mopar site is like asking how the KKK feels about BLM. exactly

Not about being a "hater". That's silly. Just common sense that a lot of people on a Mopar site figure to see and read about Mopars only. It'd be different if there wasn't a ridiculous number of resources and websites for Chevy people. 10x more than Mopars.

Don't feel too bad, I got flamed regularly on here for saying Toyotas suck.

Nice color. I like the outside of the those cars, especially the grille design. The dash I find to be kind of a let down - too taxi cab looking especially the bench seat cars.
Years ago not long after I started driving my dad and I looked as a 68 Nova driving project that had a built 402, a Muncie 4 speed, and 4:10 gears. I had not been driving for very long at that point + this thing had significantly more power than what I was used to + it was going to be expensive to keep gas in it so I ended up getting talked out of it. Can't own everything you want at that age anyways...

Thinking out loud here. In the 80s and 90s the Duster and Nova were affordable but looked down upon because the Cuda Charger and Challenger were the sexy Mopars and the Chevelle and Camaro were the sexy Chevys. The Duster and the Nova when outfitted with larger rear tires- like a 275 60 15 look amazing. (Nova in this thread needs factory size due to value.) The Duster accepts a big block but not as easily as the Nova does. The Maverick- Fords entry in this class can look awesome too but man- I was a kid in the late 70s and the Mavericks in my MI town were rusted away BEYOND recognition and they were not even 8 years old!
Keep old mopars alive.

Based on your pic and info, Black interior if you have the cowl tag should be fairly easy to determine, if not and no other documents there is no way of knowing. Hopefully the following links will help. LINKY1 Scroll down for cowl tag interior codepage 10 in the pic's towards the top is hard to read for me but you may find it elsewhere on the net. Below is a pic of the Seat trim options chart. My guess would be the standard cloth/vinyl or upgraded all vinyl
