Around 2000 rpm it starts to scream. It's a little bit cammed up for a 350. 10 years ago, chasing that extra .1 of E.T. was my rage. Not so much anymore

I looked under my car, and the casting on the pumpkin is a 1235542, from a 73 Nova IIRC. So at least that part matches.

Is there a definitive way to tell by codes and stampings if an 8.5 is a Nova or 2nd gen rear?
