If you look at the trim rings...{Marina Blue}they look like 7" all the way around {Closed valve stem hole}. There is no way he is running 7" rims in the front as I have 6" in front and & 7" in rear with F70 fronts and G70 in rear so I will say for the 5" DA rims all the way around...you can run F70 on all 4. My F70 in fronts are tight but never have rubbed with stock front end and 6" rims so with a 5" rim you should be fine. I don't know if the Disc puts the tire out any? Does not look like it on either Blue cars in the pictures I posted. They Both have factory Disc brakes on the front.

Also 66 L79 on a dealer order form and a 67 dealer order form with NO L79 0n it.

The 1967 Chevy II order form is missing the 195 horsepower 283, which was definitely available, so what is to say that not having the L79 listed is not a mistake too? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Imagine how quickly you could burn through the rears on this car on Day 1. Just mash the gas pedal down in 1st and hang on!

These wheels look shallow on the outside. Reminds me of '67 disc Camaros, SS vs. non-SS. 14x5s for non-SS and 6s for SS and both shallow-faced. Marina Blue car looks like deeper wheels?

Yes...good eye! The Deep water Blue 67 has the DA factory 5&quot; rims as the Marina has 6&quot; rims all around {I think} Maybe 7&quot; in rear.

The 195 HP V/8 was not an optional engine in 1967. If you wanted a V/8 in the Chevy II 100 series you ordered a 114, in a Nova 400 it was 116, and SS 118. There was a designated V/8 model number for each series and the 195 HP/283 was the engine all V/8 cars came with unless an optional V/8 was ordered. Four and six cylinders were similarly designated by model number. The engines on the order sheet are the optional engines. Hope this makes sense.
