What is the transmission fluid capacity for a 1974 Chevy Nova V8 350?

The transmission fluid capacity for a 1974 Chevy Nova with a 350 V8 depends entirely on the type of transmission it has. A 1974 Nova could have been equipped with several different automatic and manual transmissions. There's no single answer.

To find the correct capacity, you must identify the specific transmission in your car. Look for a tag on the transmission itself (often on the side) or consult your owner's manual if you have one. Common possibilities include:

* TH350 (Turbo Hydra-matic 350): This was a very common automatic.

* TH400 (Turbo Hydra-matic 400): Another common automatic, usually found in higher-performance models.

* Powerglide: An older, simpler two-speed automatic.

* Manual transmissions: Several different manual transmissions were available, each with a different capacity.

Once you identify the transmission, you can find the correct fluid capacity in a repair manual specific to your year and model Nova, or online resources such as a Haynes or Chilton manual, or even a reputable online automotive parts website. Simply searching "[Your Transmission Type] fluid capacity" will likely yield the answer.
