I beg to differ! Got excited when I saw a '69 Catalina station wagon with a 400/2-barrel with '69 date-coded 16s in a junk yard. Come to find out...the '69 dated heads were small valve and pressed-in stud units...but 16s none the less. What a let-down. BTW...the year we won First Place Restored (1986)...the GTOAA Judges insisted my '62"s were incorrect and that my '69 GTO should have "16"s to be correct. The matter was resolved pretty quickly.
