1970 w-33 delta custom
Cool site, can anyone give more info on the 1970 w33 cars? I would like to know if my car would have had a forged crank. I got this from the west no rust at all! I had no idea a big car could be so fun.
The W33 was an engine option for the Deltas in 1970. It was the "top of the line" engine option for the Deltas, 390 HP.
Often confused with being a "police option". It was a regular RPO that was, however, ordered in conjunction with police options.
Probably won't have a forged crank, they are far and few in between in 455s, and generally were not found in the performance engines.

That is one nice car!
Very cool that you have all of that documentation!!
Checking in from the office, Thanks for all the input. When I get home I will post some pic's of the Delta. I did post some of my 72 442 in one album,she is a long time "in the works" love of mine. I just bought a nos left rear quarter panel for it.
Okay, here you go. You can get almost all of your codes from the attached SPECS page. Only 2 missing are:
U63 AM radio
N47 Variable assist power steering. Which is standard on the Delta Custom, so I don't know why it is listed.
Is the paint original? Any evidence that it was ever a "black and white" police car? It has all the options needed to be one.

FWIW, Delta Customs come with full wheel covers standard.

The story is that the late owner was a fire fighter and his two brothers were cops. I would say that he got to drive one of those police cars and was hooked. The car was ordered from a dealer in Ca, and the owner was from Kingmon Arizona. I was reading through some of his info that came with the car and saw that his trade in was a Olds,[/quote]

VERY cool car...I do believe I see a rear sway-bar...very rare item, beleive me I know, took me years to find one for my 65 Jetstar I (it came off a '69 Delta Custom, in fact). You almost never see one on a 65-70 B-body.

Yes, she did have one repaint years ago. I was told this car was ordered as emblem delete, I do not know if that is true or if they were removed at the time of repaint. Did any one notice that they were missing?
