Hello from Vancouver Island. I am a 79 year old retired heavy duty diesel mechanic who just sold my 66 nova ss L79 and purchased my first B Body. Its a 67 Coronet 500 4 speed with a 440 and a custom interior. I am from the muscle car era back in Quebec and always loved seeing the r/t's,gtx's and chargers on the streets and strips. As this is my first mopar I may be looking for all the help I can get.

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Always nice to see another Canuck and '67 Coronet on the site. I have a 1967 Coronet R/T. That L79 1966 Nova would be a stout piece, too. 350 h.p. 327, for people that never heard of them. Grumpy Jenkins used to race one in the same class against Ronnie Sox's Hemi Belvedere. Elbows Up!

Welcome from Edmonton. My family used to vacation in Tofino/Cox Bay, we spent many summers there. That's some nice intake mods on your engine. For interest's sake, I wonder if there is a performance improvement with CAI intake tubes and collector on the carb as opposed to just an open air cleaner with a K & N filter?

Welcome. My cousin lived in the North part of Parksville. Fairly high up in elevation. They were three houses up from eastern shore. Great view over looking the other houses to see the mainland.
1990 they dropped us off to hike the West Coast Trail.
Your engine is a 1968 HP 440. Don’t see the build date.

Where would I find the build date?

Bonjour from Gabriola Island. The bike guys meet every Sunday morning about 0930 in the coffee shop in Parksville.
I am waiting for a sunny day to go there on my winter bike.
Should be someday soon. There is also a Vancouver Island Mopar group, but I did not get a reply to my last msg to them.
To Photon, I am often in South Surrey.
