1969 Chevrolet Nova Ss on 2040-cars
Kingsport, Tennessee, United States
Please message me with questions at: willettasangiacomo@netzero.net . "True Super Sport" , NOT a clone or tribute car dressed as a SS. Build sheet is included.
Non-original, but 1969 dated coded big block 396, According to cast numbers, it is a 1969 dated 396 for an Impala
or other large car model. The air cleaner and valve cover decals were present when I bought it. It was probably a
265 horse two barrel but now has an aluminum intake and Holley four barrel. Don't have head information. It sounds
like it has a mild cam but again I have no details. I have been doing sort of a "freshening up" versus a
restoration and for now, getting into the engine was a low priority. It runs strong and is very torquey. Not solid
lifter, probably more in the 325hp range than 375. Of course if it was the L78 396 we would be discussing a car
costing in the high 30s. Exhaust: original manifolds, mufflers and dual exhaust, no headers. Yes, there is a three
inch crack in the dash panel. I haven't opened the rear end, but according to axle stampings it came with the Eaton
3:31 positraction 12 bolt. To my knowledge, the car needs a new oil pan because someone before me stripped the
drain plug and it has a very slow drip. And it needs the aforementioned dash pad. TKO 500 5-speed transmission .
Original 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. New bell housing, flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft. New radiator, starter
and Mallory HEI distributor.
Straight body with no rust. Solid floors and trunk. California car New seat foam, covers, bucket seat backs,
headrests, and trim. New door panels, pull handles, and window cranks. New fuel tank, sending unit, lines, and fuel
pump. All new brake components front and rear, including calipers, rotors, pads, drums, shoes, and springs .
Speedometer does work. Reverse lights do not work only because they have not been connected to the switch that is
present on the new transmission. Trans also has electronic speedometer sensor which could be hooked to an
electronic speedo if a new gauge package were to be installed.
Garage kept for the past 9 years, and only driven 1200 miles during that time. A big hit at local car shows.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
