This is a neat video about a 67 442 with W30 option. Any comments on the tach?

 

The tach is aftermarket and was added.

 

OK I thought tri power was only 66 trac pac.. in 67 they went to a 4bbl, no power brakes cause of the w-30 option, no vacuum
what gives ???

 

The car in the video is a 4bbl car.

 

The car is a 4bbl car. Lots of other things are reproduction or incorrect on this car. Love to see the data plate on this one.

 

Drop dead Beautiful car, never heard 442 meaning 4 bbl, 4 speed, 2 doors?.The owner isn’t real sharp on his own car for sure..Is it a true w30? For such a beautiful car I am surprised the dash was such an amateur job of restoration..looks like they spray painted it silver and called it good..nothing more beautiful than a dead *** straight black 442.. awesome

 

Got my doubt's it's a real W30. Sure would like to see the data plate also.

 

Hey Joe,, as usual u are correct. I did not look close enough, should that have power brakes with the w-30 option ??? also where in hell does the outside intake runners go to on the 67. Mine as you know are in the front bumper for the 66 ??

 

You bring up a very good point sir !!

 

The ducts are above and below the turn signal housings in the grill.

 

I knew you would know that question..you must be the guy to go to on this site ... This does not look as efficient as the 66 models does it. does the w31 option have power brakes ???

 

The 1966-67 W30 engines used the 308/308 deg cam, not the 328/328 cam used on the 68-70 motors. The milder cam produced more vacuum, so power brakes were not excluded in those years.

 

Here's a road test of a 1967 W30 from the Oct 1967 issue of High Performance Cars. Note that it has power brakes (also UHV ignition).

 

Very nice looking car but not a perfect representation of even a non W30 442! Easy to spot items such as incorrect pin stripe, incorrect tail pipes, aftermarket tach in place of clock in the dash, non chrome oil filler cap on W30! And the caretaker was not well prepared as he stated a bunch of bogus crap. Still, a beauty of a car and a nice walk around.

 

Couple of Chevy guys. Pretty car, lots not right. The tach in the middle was a common thing.
