Can anyone explain this? The torque rating difference of the LS1 between Pontiac and Chevrolet?

Well, I guess we've always known that Pontiacs are superior to Chevrolets but this just proves it...

Strange indeed.

All the other engine specs appear identical. Im guessing its a typo. The question is which one is correct?

For those unfamiliar with 1969 427's, the LS1 is the:
Chevrolet: 335 hp Turbo-Jet 427 V8,
Canadian Pontiac: 335 hp Astro-Jet 427 V8.

Below is the page from the 1969 Owners Manual with engine specifications, sales brochure well known to contain typos:

Now have a look at the same page from the 1969 impala owner manual. Just to add a little more muddling.

Haha, the only thing consistent with their paperwork is their inconsistency!
