Default Re: 9566BA's verrrrry Cooool L79....

Since the day in 1980 when I found my -67 discbrake wagon
Chevy II, L-79 cars have been my favorites.(That is until
I first laid eyes on my COPO !).
I have never heard why the -67 L-79 cars had 25hp less than
the -66 cars. Could it be a paper thing,just like the 375hp
L-78, actually produces 425hp ?
Claes Erixon whom I bought my COPO 9561 from, had a friend
with a -68 L-79 Corvette. We looked it over once, and it had
a Rochester carb and an iron intake. I believe that´s what
makes the difference in -68.
Just my two kronor !
