[QUOTE="67HEAVEN, post: 15003, member: 659"] :agree: As a matter of fact, the L-88s came with a console sticker that stated a requirement for fuel with a research octane number of at least [SIZE="5"][B]103[/B][/SIZE]. Good luck finding that just around the corner. :rofl: By the way, has anyone found all the underhood differences in the '67 L-88 photo above compared to lesser big blocks of the same vintage? Let's start with that big black canister (with attached tube) sticking out of the driver's side valve cover. It's called the road draft tube. All it did was dump partially burned fuel gases onto the road surface rather than recycling them through the engine. The L-88s had no PCV valve and were therefore not legal for road use. They also could [U]not[/U] be ordered with a heater, defroster or radio. There were many mandatory go-fast required options, however, but we'll leave that for another day. :D [/QUOTE]
