For 1967, Catalinas and other full-sized Pontiacs received a heavy
facelift of the '65 bodyshell with more rounded wasp-waisted body
contours and fuller fastback rooflines, along with concealed
windshield wipers - an industry first. Replacing the 389 and 421
V8s of previous years were new 400 and 428 cubic-inch V8s with
bigger valves and a valve angle change built off the same Pontiac
V8 design in use since 1955. The valve angle change was so bigger
valves and larger ports could be used. The standard Catalina engine
was a two-barrel unit rated at 265 horsepower (198 kW) with
three-speed manual transmission or 290 horsepower (220 kW) with
Turbo Hydramatic. The 265 horsepower (198 kW) engine was available
as a no-cost option with the Turbo Hydramatic and differed from the
standard 290 horsepower (220 kW) unit by using regular gas as
opposed to premium fuel. Optional engines included a four-barrel
400 rated at 325 horsepower (242 kW), a four-barrel 428 rated at
360 horsepower (270 kW) or the four-barrel 428 HO rated at 376
horsepower (280 kW). The Tri-Power engine options were dropped for
1967 thanks to a new GM corporate policy headed primarily by Ed
Cole which prohibited the use of multiple carbs on all vehicles
except the Chevrolet Corvette and the Corvair, two of Cole's babies
when he was head of Chevrolet Engineering and later Chevrolet
General Manager. Front disc brakes and a stereo eight-track tape
player were new additions to the option list.1 #fn1
