That’s a big change in cruse rpm, where does your Cam’s power band start to haul nice?

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?

Find a camaro/nova site and see if they have the codes.
Some codes were just for camaro or just for nova. I'd have to search and see if I have them.

Found this on the Nova site
Absolutely the most fool proof way. Stock 68-74 Nova 12-bolt/10-bolt rear axle width is... 60.25" wheel mounting face-to-wheel mounting face, including drum thickness 53.25" backing plate flange-to-backing plate flange 42.75" center-to-center on the leaf spring perches. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
