    Chevy Nova, 1968-'79

    Right! My friends dad worked at Cadillac and I remember him saying they were having problems with the port injection. The last 425, and the 368, did have a Rochester Quadrajet carb. When the E body cars were redesigned and the Riviera got front drive, the Olds 350, then the 307 was used. So the...

    WHAT would YOU do?

    Not for me. Life is short. I want to enjoy it now. I'm out of the rat race. Any of us can wake up one morning to suffering a T.I.A. like my brother in law Sunday morning. He's only 66. Or a stroke, or coronary, etc. He doesn't care either now. Not watching news, doesn't want to know it.

    TAG, you're half correct. The 1975 Seville did have throttle body fuel injection, but the engine was an Olds 350, not a Chevrolet. Quite different. Positive valve lifter rotation, different heads, manifolds, block. Distributor rotated in the opposite direction.

    Matt, I wouldn't be concerned. Not our problem,. We'll be gone.

    For the record, those features are what market research deemed buyers want. Most likely the under 40 age set.

    Money for bad dishwasher board.

    GE changed the fill valve part number, but it fit. Control board had a 5 year warranty I remember. It was an $800 machine in 2010-11.

    new dishwasher

    I'm putting up with our 15 year old GE Profile until it dies. The dishes always get clean. The only issue is I have to add two tall glasses of hot water before starting, and for the main wash, and sometimes the first rinse. If the tap water isn't hot enough, the dispenser won't sump the...

    Money for bad dishwasher board.

    Very few put a roast or a turkey in a microwave. We use it for reheating, thawing, melting, boiling a cup or 2 of water, and only cook fresh veggies in it. The turntable can be shut off, and a 13x9" dish fits. I do like the drawer type though.

    Modern Whirlpool

    Oh, is Whirlpool up for sale like Maytag was? No. Not a fair comparison then.

    Money for bad dishwasher board.

    Building codes require an otr micro vent to be at least 18 inches above the cooktop and stock cabinets for mounting cabinets for mounting them are 20inches above when mounted flush in line with the cabinets on either side. Room for any size stock pot. For shorter people and seniors, may not be...

    Matt, the Mach E and Mustang has the sequential blinkers.

    WHAT would YOU do?

    We hate all the screen controls too. Like hard buttons for climate control, heated seats. I'm surprised ours still has a radio volume and tuning knob.

    Novas were hard in tires until 1975 when it got the Camaro front suspension.

    History of Automotive Side Windows

    Matt, Divine driving the 58 Cadillac in Multiple maniacs? The motion of the rear quarter windows are a dance. Above video is a 61 or a 62.

    WHAT would YOU do?

    Dave, I won't sacrifice a power seat or heated seats. I can live without a panoramic roof. Current vehicle has a heated steering wheel too. Nice. Heats quickly and can be shut off. I don't care for Buicks newer styling themes. In my opinion, the last real Buick was the Lacrosse. Maybe the last...
