Before ordering:
* Specify the exact year and model of your Nova (e.g., 1972 Chevy Nova SS): Parts can vary significantly between years and trim levels.
* Check multiple catalogs: Prices and part availability can differ between suppliers.
* Read reviews: See what other Nova owners have to say about the quality of parts and service from different companies.
* Consider NOS (New Old Stock) parts: These are original parts that have never been used, but they can be expensive and harder to find.
* Don't overlook local auto parts stores: Some may surprisingly have NOS or used parts in their inventory or be able to help you source parts.
Using a combination of online searches and browsing the websites of the companies listed above will give you the best chance of finding the specific parts you need for your 1972 Chevy Nova at a competitive price.
