What are you trying to say??!

Hey BC, yes the 6 cylinder accelerator cable was cancelled on 4/6/67 and new V8 style linkage adopted after that according to AIM. My car would have been built in January 1967 so if it was a 6 cylinder it should have the extra cable holes. I also have both firewall earthing strap holes for V8 engine among other items.
I'm not an expert and happy learn if I got it wrong.

I was under the impression the cable wasn't used in 67 - see UPS 6 Sheet D3 in the AIM.  If you are looking at Sheet D5, it appears they were thinking of switching to a cable late in the model year, but cancelled it on that date, and would have stayed with the linkage setup. I think you have it "backwards"?

On a related note, the AIM notes and dates are entries by engineers, so a change on 4/6/67 may not have actually occurred on the assembly line until weeks or months later.

Don't think it's backwards as D3 is redrawn 4/6/67 so wouldn't have been introduced before then?

According to CRG, only 14,899 1967 Camaros had the J52 front disc brake option:

Not sure what you mean, but the redrawn and redesigned revision note on D3 was done in conjunction with the addition of Sheet D5.  However, Sheet D5 was cancelled, so the cable never made it into production, and the redrawn note on D3 is insignificant, because they never made the change to a cable in the 67 model year.  So Sheet D3 for linkage stayed in effect throughout the 67 model year.  The redrawn and redesign note on D3 does not mean they were using a cable earlier.  Unless it's been observed on verified and documented late year unmolested survivors, the cable was not used on a 6 cylinder that year.

The AIM and how it was used, revised, and the timespan it could take for a revision to actually occur on the assembly line, is discussed in detail here:

For other AIM sheets that never made it to production and are also marked CANCELLED, see UPC K19 Sheet A11, or UPC A91 Sheet A1.

I thought that 1967 was the only year for the accelerator cable? Info for 6 cylinder cars is vague and I noticed that BCmiller has asked for confirmation in 6 cylinder section of forum, so it would be good to hear from survivor cars.
Thanks for feedback, looks like I need to do more research.
Regardless of this issue I keep finding more items that confirm it was a V8 car.

If you look in the 68 and 69 AIMS, UPC 6 Sheet D2, you'll see the cable setup used on the L6 engine.

No throttle cables in 67.
