I grew up in 2 different Nova's. Granny's 77 250 I6 powerglide and my dads 78 305 with the rally rims. Dad later replaced the stock 305 with a HO L69 305 from a wrecked 80 something Iroc Z. I love those body style Novas.
On old school GMs, I never jacked the weight off the wheels to remove shims. Just loosen the nut/s until the pressure releases and take out whatever shims you need. Then retighten the nut. I also never had a machine sophisticated enough to tell me exactly what shims to add or remove. I had it down to a science on how much change would occur with X amount of shimming. Rarely ever had to make a second adjustment. Doing alignments on those cars with no A/C was actually kinda fun.
Good video. I do all the same stuff to keep my drum brakes from seizing to the hub, except not so thorough with the grinder to the mating surfaces, lol. I use a cresent file to take the ridge off the drum lip when no air tools are available.
Thus guy makes the most informative and high quality 4th gen Nova videos on youtube!
Truly humbled. Thank you so much!
