Documented '66 Impala 427/390 4-speed WAGON

[mssl72]

Cool car overall. Nice to see another big block full size car without power brakes! The tach should be 5500 red line. Also the air cleaner looks like a 396 air cleaner. The 427/390hp air cleaner had a wider opening at the end of the snorkel. From the ad it sounds like they had to scrounge up some original looking parts which would explain the air cleaner replacement. And get that dang Tonawanda sticker off the engine, they didn't use those until 1967!!

----Mark,,, Didn't know that 66 big-blocks didn't have T-stickers. Corvette certainly had them as I peeled mine off about a week after I bought mine in May of 66.......Bill S

Bill, Ok, that interesting! A good friend of mine who's a '66 Tech Advisor and a 35+ year GM employee told me that they were not in use until 1967. Maybe he was just referencing full size cars. Also it's possible since your car was a late '66 build the stickers could have been a late production year addition. I'll check with my buddy again.

Doc is good, 4 spd trans & tach is correct, came as a package with a big block and you'd get the dash mounted clock.
