Power Brake Conversion on a 4th Gen Nova with 3rd Gen Parts

Everything you need to know about upgrading your manual brakes to power. In this video I use a kit made for a 3rd gen Nova and make it work on my 4th gen.

If you decide to go with a big block you're going to have to go back to manual to make room for the valve covers. Especially if you have a big cam that robs your vacuum.

He’s gonna stay a small block for a while!

Great video... I used this same kit on my 70... however, after putting it all together... filled with fluid... as I started to bleed.. I never can get any pedal whatsoever.. no leaks anywhere etc... I did leave the bleeders open overnight to see if they'd gravity bleed to some degree.. and it only dropped maybe a quarter inch in the reservoir... Did you have a similar experience? Or, is it just a matter of a LOT of bleeding to get through it? Subscribed too.. I've messed with Nova's my whole life.. but never had a brake issue quite like this one. Thanks in advance!

[@threeriverswrench]

I’d try to bleed it some more. Make sure there’s no kinks in your lines or hoses too. Good luck! Thanks for watching!

Why are the side marker lights missing?

[@threeriverswrench]

Removed during the restoration. Welded shut and painted over. Personal choice, going for a different look.
