In fact, except for the 3x2 'Vettes, the tri-powers were last seen in 1966 due to the introduction of the q-jet in 1967.
And just to be clear, I've not only worked at gas stations and dealer service bays, but I know my Uncle had a '66 Chevy II with a 327 / 275 and so did three guys I grew up with in Brooklyn and nobody ever heard of a 1966 anything q-jet from GM. In fact, my best friend's butt-buddy has some documents that will prove this is baloney. And I've got a lot of car magazines that can prove my point also. And they date back to 1965 and none of them mention a 66 q-jet except for the release announcement in the October 1966 issue of "Fast Cars and Big-Uns" which as you all know is the definitive source of all things GM in the 1960's.
Something smells rotten in Denmark and I'm going to get to the bottom of this with NHRA!

Jeff,
First of all, I am pretty sure your friend and his friend really appreciates that comment about their relationship.
Another thing. This has nothing to do with AMCs so let it go. You need to spend all of your energy getting your own stuff ready. LOL.
