1966 Nova Wagon (are we ever really done?)

got the tach finished and working... lol have to remember the tach goes thru MSD box not the coil .. Thank you to Dan R. , Ian G. and Robin R. my friends who helped me get this done.. next up will be a new windshield and rear tailgate glass.. they are really scratched up .. looking like originals by the manufacture.. going to do a black/blue hounds tooth on the seat inserts.. and new door panels (previous owners installed door speaks in all four) but thats a winter project,,, stay tuned !

 

I like my Sun SST Green Line as well, I was going to ask who made the "Big Daddy" Tachometer then I enlarged the picture and saw the "DIXCO" Who Made DIXCO?
A Buddy of mine in high school always called them "Disco Tachs" what an Air Head He Was...
Look Great ...

Dixson, inc made Dixco tachometers.

 

I have the Sun Super Tach on the right sitting in my tool box.. went with the Dixco ... The pointer needs to come down from 7000 ( lol) ... have a 6000 chip in the MSD right now.. Thank you for all the great comments.

 

Did you find a Cover for the Wiper Motor yet?
A strange part to have missing, PO still have it possible?
Can you still contact PO and ask if it's laying around somewhere?
Hope you find one.

I love this wagon! love the wheel choice on the white paint with the gold spokes. Nice job!

 

some small details.. found these license plate frame at the swap meet a few years back.. thought they would be cool on the wagon

 

Lookin' real nice! Keep 'er up!!

 

Thank you..

just need to get the front and rear glass replaced this winter .. and some interior upgrades done.. update the radio and speakers down the road...

 

Sure hated to see the "We are done" in the title, this is the only Gen. 2 Nova that I have a connection to on the HAMB.
Maybe you will think of something to do to your wagon........even If it doesnt need it.
By the way, I have an extra W/S wiper motor but not sure if both work, would hate to give up the good one if one is bad.

 

are we ever really done ?.. ok I'm fooling myself... need some glass work.. seats will get a freshening up at some point.. maybe new tunes, change the radio and speakers...

 

Maybe I'm missing something you guys already talked about, but the only cover I'm aware of is just the washer pump. I can't recall ever seeing just a cover.

GM used this exact windshield wiper/washer on so many cars. My 1965 Pontiac has the exact one.

Here's a picture of one on a 1963 Nova.

 

Thank you everyone... guess its just the pump thats missing... looks like the previous owner put a regular small electric pump down by the washer tank... I may just buy a pump and gut it and plug washer line connection... just drives me nut looking at the motor and see that open spot.
