Yep, in my research on the forum I came across the thread (factory correct restoration?) where these pics were posted. I'm friends with John (theastronaut) on Facebook & made him aware of this thread when I found it.

During early '65 it was replaced with new 220 hp 4BBL version and became a REGULAR ORDER option on C 20's and C 30s only. For the '66 model year, it became a regular option on all C 10 thru 30's.
