Don't see Mike Crown posting on the boards much these days. His car is cool and he is very knowledgeable on 66/67 Chevelles.

It was an over-the-counter option you could buy at your Chevy dealer and have them install or install yourself. Hard to make yourself saw that hole in the firewall of a rust free car nowadays though!

When it comes to those cars...Mike is the guy <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

That is one beautiful Chevelle...I guess they are still out there waiting to be found.

Just came across this post and thought I'd chime in.
I sold this Chevelle to Mike last October after owning it for 8 years.
Yep, a really neat car.

That's the way it was.
Here's a picture of the motor on the day of purchase!

The car sounds amazing! Any idea if that is the stock cam? I know my L72-427 back in the day was not that radical.
