Nova Used Parts Buyers Guide 1962 - 1972
When it comes to finding parts for your classic Nova, you need every advantage you can find. That's where this outstanding guide comes in. It's called "Nova Used Parts Buyers Guide 1962 - 1972" and was put together by Paul Herd, a prolific author of restoration and interchange manuals. You'll find it a tremendous resource for tracking down the correct parts for your 1962 - 1972 Nova, or Chevy II.
The first thing you should understand about cars, such as the Nova, is that they are built with both specialty parts and line parts. Specialty parts can be defined as ones manufactured for a specific model. Line parts are the ones which are made for use in multiple models and often for multiple years as well. Another term you can use for line parts is "interchangeable". From a manufacturer's perspective, using the same parts for more than one vehicle (and from year to year) helps to keep production costs down. That savings is good for the consumer, as it keeps the vehicles more affordable.
Right now, you may be saying, "That's great, but what does that mean to me?" It means, that if you're looking for parts, many times you won't have to restrict your search to the same year and model car as you are rebuilding, repairing or restoring. With this book, when you hit the swap meets and salvage yards, you can follow the Nova used parts guidance information included in this book and score your correct, prized parts from say, a Chevelle, or Camaro, or full-size Chevy, or even a GMC truck, to name just a few examples.

Speaking of examples, let's take a look at one from the book. Let's say you are looking for a windshield wiper switch for a 1962 Nova. The book will first explain to you that the wiper switch is interchangeable, but they are referencing the bare switch (without decorative knob). Then they provide helpful notes to explain that the type and number of wiper speeds affect interchangeability, as does the inclusion or not of a windshield washer. The book breaks it down with an interchange number for four different scenarios: single speed without washer, single speed with washer, two-speed without washer and two-speed with washer. For purposes of this example will assume you are looking for a single speed without washer. It shows an interchange number of "1". Looking at the information listed for interchange 1, you'll find the following: Part Number(s) 1993441. Usage: 1959-1964 full-size Chevrolet; 1960 full-size Olds Delta 88; 1961-1963 Cutlass; 1961-1966 Skylark; 1962-1961 Nova; 1964 full-size Pontiac; 1964-1965 LeMans; all with single-speed wiper without washer. Just looking at this one simple example, you can clearly see how much greater your chances of success will be when searching for parts for your vintage Nova.
