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

I thought that at least the six L-79 Chevy II cars built in
-67, had aluminum intakes ? How about Chevelles ? Anders

Thanks guys for setting me straight on the fact that the L79 ran a hydraulic cam. Sorry for any confusion my question caused! I learn something every day on this forum.

Bob, I´m sending Mr L-79 a letter with some photos.
One dollar is something like 7.70 kronor. Anders
