Thanks for the nice comments guys. It was fun to get them all together. The tan car is currently in Scottsdale getting ready for it's spotlight on Thursday. About the black car, I forgot to mention that the original window sticker is with it. It is the most loaded out of the 3 including power steering and brakes, AM/FM multiplex, and the comfort and convenience package. My car (blue) and the tan car both do not have power steering or brakes. It keeps you on your toes sometimes. As for gears, mine is a DN code, 4.10:1, black, DM code 3.73:1 and the tan, DH code 3.31:1. Transmissions are M20, M21 and M20 respectively. The Holley 3246 is the carb that would have been installed on an L72 passenger car. There is a little twist to that though. The 3246 is an "EE" code. On the build sheet for the tan car it shows an "EF" code. I find that odd that an "EF" code, Holley 3130 (1965 396/425 L78 carb) would be called out for a car built the 4th week of April 1966. It could have been a typo, maybe the fact of it being built in a BOP plant with some possible different codes.
