Wheel Alignment Specifications for 1966 Chevy II Nova
Chevrolet introduced the Nova sports car in 1962. The alignment specs were the same for all trims of the 1966 Chevy Nova. The alignment was not adjustable on the rear end because the Nova came with a fixed rear axle.
Caster
The caster angle is the measurement, in degrees, of how far a line drawn through a wheels steering knuckle is inclined from a vertical line through the center of the wheel. The ideal caster for the 1966 Nova is +1.0 degree, but it can range from +0.5 to +1.5 degrees.
Camber
Camber is the angle at which the top of a wheel tilts when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Tilting out is positive camber, and tilting in is negative camber. The ideal camber for the 1966 Nova is +0.5 degrees, but it can range from zero to +1.0 degree.
Toe-In
Toe, when measured in inches, is the difference in the distances between the centers of the fronts and the rears of the front wheels. Most vehicles are designed to toe-in, meaning the distance between the fronts of the two front wheels will be slightly less than that of the backs of the two front wheels. The toe-in for the 1966 Nova can range from 1/4 of an inch to 3/8 of an inch.
