Hey John, you are correct the 67 915's have the larger exhaust valve and the 66 model 915's have the smaller valve, but the 66 heads also have a higher floor and longer transition and hump than the 67 heads with the larger valve. At least according to the heads I have and have worked on. But, do the 66 915's flow better straight "stock" than the 516 head. Hope I have all these part numbers correct, tryin' to pull them out of a toasty head from the holidays. Still, I know the rules dictate stock sized valves.
