- In late 1965, Chevrolet unveiled an entirely redesigned Chevelle for the 1966 model year. As a result of Chevrolet's increased emphasis on performance, the Chevelle was available for the first time with only an eight-cylinder engine. The base model Chevelle was equipped with the 327-cubic-inch engine, while the Super Sport model was equipped with the 396. The Chevelle's front suspension is entirely adjustable. The most important adjustment is the car's alignment.
- The caster angle for the Super Sport model is between 0 and -0.5 degrees. A caster angle of -0.5 degrees is optimal. The caster angle for the base model Chevelle is between -0.5 and -1.5 degrees. A caster angle of -1 degree is optimal.
- The camber angles are the same for all Chevelle models. The camber angle for both the left and right side is between 0 and +1 degrees. The optimal camber angle is +0.5 on both sides.
- The toe-in specification is the same for all models of the Chevelle. The toe-in specification is within a range of 0.125 and 0.25 inches.
- The toe-out angles are the same for all models of the Chevelle. Toe-out at the outer wheel was 18.4 degrees. Toe-out at the inner wheel is 20 degrees.
