Default Re: 1966 Corvette 427- "the unrestored one"

----Matt,,,In 67 427 powered cars with radios had a different method of attaching the radio suppression grounds than 65 and 66 as the heat shields wernt used anymore. There were clips that ran under the 1/4/twenty valve-cover bolts. The 4 clips on each side of the motor were joined two and two and put under two of the valve-cover bolts. The factory decided that the regular length bolts were then too short. Guys on the assembly line would yank two bolts out of each side that had been painted Chevy orange and replace them with slightly longer bolts that were, of course, not painted. Weird but true!......Bill S
