Exactly! A quick easy method and then it's whole again. It's starting to get up there.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Does anyone know the part number for the air filter element that goes in this air cleaner?

Thanks,


Jason

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

That used the very popular AC-Delco A212CW element.
Chevrolet recognizes it as #6421746.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Rick was that the Square mesh 212?

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Well, it was used in '65 and '66 so it might be the square mesh.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

I have an update as to why I asked this ? to begin with. I had a hankering that my 66 Biscayne was a real 425hp car. mssl72 came over and looked at it and we couldn't find anything to count it out or in. I recevied a package this weekend from one of the previous owners I tracked down and in it was a complete ownership history of the car. One phone call to Iowa and the guy says " yeah, I owned that car, bought it in '68, bought it from the orig owner, my brother". Told us where he bought it in Nebraska and how he and his brother smoked the tires from day one. Said they had the front tires off the ground several times. It is the REAL DEAL! Came 427/425hp, close ratio 4 speed, 12 bolt posi, rubber floors, vinyl bench no radio. Sold the car to a friend today who was waiting for the news to consumate. Did I leave out that I got this car with the Yenko in a package. Like your parents said, "Do your homework it will pay off".

Rubber floors, original interior, 7k tach, no radio. What else do you need, oh yeah L72.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Ah-ha! I wondered if you got that package. Was there any cool paperwork in the pile?

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

That would be very cool if in fact it is an original L-72. These big cars with the L-72 are very unique. Nice homework.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

I am only seeing one pic per post on my last two posts. Is that what you are seeing also? Package had ownership history with copies of reg. back to 68 in Iowa. Called Mr. 1968 and he was the 2nd owner, his brother was the orig. owner. Both still alive and loved talking about slamming gears in the car. I belive orig. owner about how car was equipped, he has no reason to lie and we are getting notarized statements from them, also pics from drags. Car was bought in Nebraska, went home to Iowa, went back to Nebraska then Georgia then Florida then Nev. and now So Cal. More trailer miles than actual miles.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

That's a "yes" on the pictures. Only 1 per post. There is a little "?" where the other pic is supposed to be. Something with the address must be off.

Dana, I'm a sucker for the "big" cars...Even as a kid in SoCal...a lot of the car pics that I took were of 427 big Chevies! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

It was built in L.A. Calif. and shipped to Omaha. Started in SoCal and is back in SoCal. Back home I guess.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Uh, let me think. Oh yeah I got them from you Mark. Thanks. Look good on the car.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Great looking sleeper you have there. I love those plain jane big horsepower big cars. You can't beat the dog dish look. Did Mark give you his extra air cleaner? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

No Billy. Unfortunately, at that point in time it was not mine to give. If I just had a few more I could help out some other guys with original cars.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Anyone know approximately how many 67 427 biscaynes were made??? I have a 67 427 biscayne all numbers matching but needs a complete resto. It is documented by GM of Canada. Up here in Canada in 67 they only made 2025 V8 2DR sedan biscaynes. I would guess that maybe 25 recieved the L36 427 up here. I have pics but don't know how to post them. Can someone help. Great looking 66 L72. Thanks.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Thanks mockingbird812. This car is rough but complete. I believe this car may have been a cop car. It has the 140mph speedo in it and those strange plugs in the dash pad???? Possibly for lights?? Any one ever seen anything like this.

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?

I heard he came quite a distance. Either Cal, or Fla. I think Howie said he went through an unbelieveable amount of fuel to get here with a suburben getting 6 mpg. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
 

Ken, I thiink Tom answered the question already https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: How many 66 427 425hp Biscaynes?
