The L79's had hyd. cams. The power loss in '67-8 was due to a cast iron intake, Rochester Q-Jet carb and a standard (no clutch) fan on non-A/C cars (atleast for Chevy II/Nova). As far as the advertised numbers being correct?? -Who knows. Has anyone ran a dead stock '66 or '67-'68 L79 on a dyno? With the numbers game being played since the mid '60s it could be off. The Camaro had to be the top dog on its first outing in '67. Similar to the Novas having a leg cut off in '64 for the Malibu/Chevelle.
