Dale, would 67 Chevelle small block California emissions parts numbers be interchanged? I am curious if they used different pumps and diverter valves and exhaust lines. Thanks in advance. Paul

Paul------

Of the major AIR system components, only the mixture control valve (diverter valve) are the same for 1967 Chevelle small block and 1967 Corvette small block. All of the other major AIR system components from 1967 small block Chevelles will not interchange with those for 1966-67 Corvettes. This includes the pump, pump bracket, and manifold tube assemblies.

Well I feel a bit chagrined because my previous reply about the Ventura Motor Company was premature as I didn't do my home work. I checked with one of the secretaries in my office who was born and raised in Ventura and she said that her 90 plus year old grandmother still has her one owner 67 Chevrolet Caprice with the Ventura Motor Company license plate frame. She thought that it became Crawford Chevrolet shortly after her grandmother got the car, a few years before I moved to Ventura. The good news is that the grandmother no longer drives the car and resides in her garage

John, mystery solved. Thank you for that information. Now, think you could ask your secretary if her grandmother might be willing to part with that license frame? Ha

I hope grandma can find better lodging soon.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

From reading the posts, look like Matt is #22 of K-19s. Sorry I missed it. Dale

Re: 1966 & 1967 K-19 Corvette owners

With Mat's 1966, it looks like we have found 39 of the 1966 and 1967 K-19 cars. Matt yours is the 10th base engine 1966's. Matt hope this helps. Dale

This logging in every 5 minutes is probably why no one in our chapter uses this. Robert thank you. That makes 40. I am sure there are more. Dale
