Default ohc 4 bbl question

was the 4 bbl carb available without the sprint option? a friend looked at a 67 tempest convertible and it has a 4bbl on it. the car is in primer so it had no stripes.
thanks bryan

They did indeed offer the 4bc engine as an “HO” type option separate from the
"Sprint/Sports Package" I've seen it in wagons and 4dr models as well.

With that I would venture a guess that if you wanted one you could order one.

No duel exhaust from the factory and you also could order your Sprint "Stripe Delete"

None had dual exhaust. Y-pipe into a single system. On the A Bodies, you could get stripe delete on the Sprint package. (No Sprint stripes for Firebirds) I know you could order a wagon with a 4 bbl that was not a Sprint package, but I do not think you could with the Tempest Convert.
Maybe Gary will chime in....

I seem to remember a guy that had a green colored wagon that had a 4bbl OHC? I could be wrong.

67 was only year you could get the 4 bbl without ordering a Sprint package
I had a 4 dr auto A/C car that was 4 bbl from factory but had the OHC-6 emblems.
I know of another 4 dr that is a 4 speed and was same.
