Funny thing this SAE, Metric change. My '66 has all SAE - I think. But
some of Paul's early '67 interior is Metric - like hand brake knob. I
think in '67 they started the change over to metric so it could be fully
implemented by 67.5 - some parts are and some aren't. It is one of those
check and see things. Tail lights mmmmmmmm..............

I believe everything on your car should be SAE. I
think the "change" started in 67.5
