Nice find, picture of Simon's 67 Fairlane ragtop in A/SA.
Best likely fit is
1968 A/SA=8.00

1967 Fairlane ragtop, 427/425-8v factored at 463hp (they vary from about 460-463hp back-calculating the factoring) comes out at W/P=8.01.

Perfect fit to class, but so was the 427/410-4v Fairlane/Comet 2door post, and ran the same class A/SA=8.00. And that 4v combo, left unfactored at 410hp, was stronger - lots of wins. But the flat-hood 427-8v was factored too high. The Glass hood 427-8v combo was only factored at 472hp. The cold air was worth more than 472-463=9 hp or even 472-460=12 hp.

The FLAT-hood FACTORED 427-8v wasnt a very competitive combo- I'm not sure if I found any national wins with it. Factored too high at least back then.
