Bear in mind this is a conspectus of information on
the 1967 Chevelle and not an all-encompassing, final word publication.
The data presented here are as accurate as numerous GM publications,
magazine articles, and knowledgeable Chevelle enthusiasts can make it.
It is a fact that not even Chevrolet parts department parts catalogs
can be kept 100% up to date 100% of the time.
-
It is also noteworthy to mention that even the AIM
can be 'out of date' as revisions were constantly being made and options
added or deleted throughout the model year. For example, my copy of
the AIM clearly shows the correct assembly of the 3x2 carburetor setup
(RPO L64/67), air cleaner, linkage, hoses, etc. for the proposed RPO
L64 396 engine and the revision record showing it was cancelled on April
29, 1966 - four months before production started.

From time to time owners will surface with some anomaly
that cannot be explained such as ordering the Special Instrumentation
option (RPO U14) and not receiving the tachometer that was part of the
option or ordering the base 325hp engine in the SS396 series and having
the car delivered with a 350hp open-element air cleaner. These anomalies
cannot be explained with any rationale. The data contained on this Reference
CD shows what should have been according
to available Chevrolet documentation, not anomalies or factory errors
that did not get caught in quality inspections. It should also be noted
that many dealers would often change parts at the buyer's request after
the car was received at the dealer.

-
Chevrolet often released Service Information Bulletins
about replacement of items under warranty. Original, assembly line installed
items would be replaced with regular service items. Naturally, these
service items would usually differ from the original part and have a
different part number.
-
Many part numbers shown on this CD are from a 1972
edition of a Chevrolet Parts & Accessories catalog I retrieved
from the trash while working a Chevrolet dealer parts counter. It should
be noted that the part numbers shown on this CD are part numbers we
would look up to get you a GM authorized replacement
part for your vehicle. Since this parts book was 5 years old at the
time for the 1967 model year, some part numbers would have been superseded
and/or the replacement part numbers may not have been the same as the
original part numbers.
-
Some common parts may have been used on other models
from Chevrolet such as the Camaro, Chevy II, Corvette and/or full size
passenger cars. Some common parts were also used on previous and later
years of Chevrolets. Unless a part is significant for some reason, its
lineage isn't shown for obvious space and research reasons.
-
Part numbers should not be confused with casting or
stamped numbers on a particular part. Sometimes the stamped number on
a part was the same as the part number in the parts catalog, but not
always.
-
Many part numbers differ between the AIM and the P&A
Cat. due to revisions/changes in the part itself. The AIM often shows
revised part numbers itself due to design changes before production.
Part numbers from the P&A Cat. will be listed in normal font and part
numbers from the AIM will be listed in red
bold print. As an example, a simple part like the passenger
side hood hinge was originally part number
3855455 and was revised to part number
3899557 in May of 1966 and revised
again to 3910667 in August of 1966.
Part number 3910667 is the replacement shown in the P&A Cat. Any part
number listed in red bold print will
be from the AIM. Be aware that even the numbers listed may have changed
again after the publication of my P&A Cat. dated 1972 as the same part
may have been used in later years.
-
As always, there are bound to be typographical errors,
especially with part numbers. I have tried my best to be as accurate
as possible but mistakes do occur. If you find one, please right-click
the page, select Properties and send me the URL of
that page for correction - and reread the paragraph above if you have
a different part number. What is the date of the part number you find
is in error?
-
This CD is not presented as a restoration guide with
correct paint and finishes on specific parts but rather a conspectus
of data to show how these Chevelles were built and the guidelines used
to build them.

Most photos on this CD are reprinted with owner's
permission and credits are shown where applicable. Other photos were
obtained from Internet auction sites and some submitted for inclusion
on one of my many web sites over the years and are considered 'file'
photos. When contacting the owners of the vehicles at the time (mainly
dealers), those that did reply did not care if the photos were used
as they were selling the car anyway and granted permission; others chose
simply to not reply at all and those photos are not used.
