It seems they used the "serviceable" pump until 66. If they changed all model lines in 67 I wouldn't swear to that.
Seems like I took all the pumps off my 292's so can't say 100% for sure but I seem to remember the pump outlet coming straight up and line going up and over valve cover to carb vs most cars where it seems to go around valve cover. The truck routing seems like it'd be cooler but it's always in the way if you want to take off valve cover.
Personally, for a driver I'd go with a disposable style pump, that's probably what you'll get if you're away from home and have to get a pump at the first parts store you can find.
