My 66 L36 had 7 leaf too

It also had a factory rear sway bar. It was a late July convertible. I read somewhere (years ago) it was due to the added weight of the factory AC.

I need the size of a C4 sunvisor

My Camaro needs smaller sun visors, and vendors don't give sizes. I'm hoping to find a Corvette visor to use.

If you get a 327 car with a Carter carburetor you should be fine. All a Carter AFB ever needs is to have the float bowls wiped out with a rag every 20 years or so.
