 We were talking about Chevy's.  The GTO's had 3-2's from 64 to 67. I only 
remember one year, maybe two for the J2 Olds, 57 and 58. Pontiac was 
experimenting with 3-2's about that time too. They also had the Rochester 
Fuel Injection in 57 and maybe 58.
If you want  to get into a  pissin contest over factory 3-2's, there was also 
the 6 pak 340's and 440's over at Dodge, 1970-72.  By that time, everybody 
else had wised up to the fact that a single 4 barrel was good enough for the 
street. Not to mention the EPA's new stance on smog controls on cars of the 
day.
