axleWikipedia Information"The Chevrolet Corvette (C2) (also known
as the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray) is the second generation of
the Chevrolet Corvette, produced by the Chevrolet division of
General Motors for the 1963 to 1967 model years.""The 1967 Corvette
Sting Ray was the last Corvette of the second generation, and five
years of refinements made it the best of the line. Although it was
meant to be a redesign year, its intended successor the C3 was
found to have some undesirable aerodynamic traits. Duntov demanded
more time in the wind tunnel to devise fixes before it went into
production.Changes were again modest: Five smaller front fender
vents replaced the three larger ones, and flat-finish rockers sans
ribbing conferred a lower, less chunky appearance. New was a single
backup light, mounted above the license plate. The previous models'
wheel covers gave way to slotted six-inch Rally wheels with chrome
beauty rings and lug nuts concealed behind chrome caps. Interior
alterations were modest and included revised upholstery, and the
handbrake moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. The
convertible's optional hardtop was offered with a black vinyl
cover, which was a fad among all cars at the time. The 427 was
available with a 1282
ft/min (605 L/s) Holley triple two-barrel carburetor arrangement,
which the factory called Tri-power. The ultimate Corvette engine
for 1967 was coded L88, even wilder than the L89, and was as close
to a pure racing engine as Chevy had ever offered in regular
production. Besides the lightweight heads and bigger ports, it came
with an even hotter camshaft, stratospheric 12.5:1 compression, an
aluminum radiator, small-diameter flywheel, and a single huge
Holley four-barrel carburetor. Although the factory advertised L88
rating was 430
bhp at 4600 rpm, the true rating was said to be about 560
bhp at 6400 rpm. The very high compression ratio required
103-octane racing fuel, which was available only at select service
stations. Clearly this was not an engine for the casual motorist.
When the L88 was ordered, Chevy made several individual options
mandatory, including Positraction, the transistorized ignition,
heavy-duty suspension, and power brakes, as well as RPO C48, which
deleted the normal radio and heater to cut down on weight and
discourage the car's use on the street. As costly as it was
powerful at an additional $1,500 over the base $4,240.75 price the
L88 engine and required options were sold to a mere 20 buyers that
year. With potential buyers anticipating the car's overdue
redesign, sales for the Sting Ray's final year totaled 22,940, down
over 5,000 units from 1966 results. Meanwhile, Chevrolet readied
its third-generation Corvette for the 1968 model year."American
