Year One Nova on Rides

[MuscleRodz]

Did anybody notice the funky alternator setup on it? The field windings were bolted around the snout of the water pump . I have never seen anything like that. Anybody got any info on it for curiosity sake?

I saw the same setup on American hot rod and was wondering the same thing. Alt.& water pump all in one, sounds like a good idea to me. Anybody know?

I can email Kevin tomorrow and ask him. Its his car.

Maybe it was American Hot Rod. I don't remember anymore. Too many damn TV shows.

The waterpump impellers look like art. I bet they flow a ton.

Thanks Kevin. Looks like something I may have to consider on my next build.

I remember seeing a magazine article on those a few years back. I don't see any info on the website, but from what I remember, they don't put out many amps. So check into that before you try to put one on a car that may need those amps.
