Need Help decoding Protecto Plate 1966 442

I just Purchased a 1966 442 Auto/Air car. It has a Tri Power which I thought only came on 4 speeds but I could be wrong. It also has the tach that attached to left side of dash. Car is Gold with Black Interior and the Roof is painted black. From the molding I assume it should have a vinyl top.

Plate Markings are as follows:

Top Line Oldsmobile Div General Motors
Second Line 10B Lansing Michigan
Third Line St-66-33817 Body BF 641
Fourth Line TR 080 Paint CC
5th Line ACC. 2151

VIN# is 338176Z101844

I assumed I could just order build sheets like on my GTO's and Trans Am's but from what I see they can't be ordered anywhere and no record exist.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!! I paid $16,300 so I think I did okay.

Tri Carbs were only offered on manual transmission cars so your car was owner or dealer installed. Or converted to automatic from manual trans.

Painted two toned tops use the same divider moldings as the vinyl top option.

CC paint code indicates an all white car. Top and bottom.

Your car is from the Fremont, CA plant and was built in October 1965. The Tri-Carb option was not available that early so it was added afterwards by the owner. The engine has the (incorrect) 1968-up oil filler tube.
