I cant find Dennis Oliver in the 1960-71 race year database I have.

But yes Cal Method shows up, 66 Impala hardtop, P/S=16.00 class 283/220hp. Class records Sep 1970, won class at Pomona Feb 1971.
That would be a 3-link 10-bolt rear, right? Even weaker than the 4-link 12-bolt L72 cars. Sounds like GM engineering wasn't thinking SuperStock with these cars. Still, fair enough as they are pretty light compared to today's heavy iron. I'm sure a new Camaro weighs more than the 66 Biscayne-Impala.
