1967-68 Camaros did not come with a 283. The smallest V8 was the 327/210. It had the same size 2bl carb as the 283. The 1969 Camaro started the model year with the 327/210 but it was replaced by the 307/200.

Today in the musclecar market when you see a 67-68 Camaro advertised as a matching number 327, the engine is almost always a 327/210 that has had the carb/intake changed to a 4bl. The original owner of these 327/210 Camaros were most of the time women or older folks who were not looking for a street racer. That is why you see so many of those cars in nice shape. They usually are equipped with a PG and often have factory air.
