    What years of Nova instrument cluster will fit the 2nd gen?

    Just the gauges though, correct? The Nova "cluster" with the bezel and all sits deeper. Or does the entire piece bolt in?

    Recently discovered the re-purposed nova guages myself. I figured that if they used corvairs for the first gen, they'd likely do the same for the second.

    I think they mount a little different, but can be made to work. The funny thing is 1st gen used the corvair cluster that has a plastic face, but 2nd gen's used the Nova that has the glass face

    I think the glass is the same and the gauges will interchange
    but the difference is the bezel, it is shaped different the vans.
    I have seed one nova with a factory tachometer between the
    speedo and the fuel, looks cool. It was in a wagon that a guy
    had a502/502 ramjet crate motor in, talk about a handfull.
