Hey to all out there in olds land!!!!! I am new to the forum. I have finally recieved my 67' Olds Delta 88 and have some questions....
1. What series of 88 is it?
2. Motor is stock 425 w/ Dual exhaust...what motor series is it.
3. Give me any opinions on light engine mods(i.e. carb, exhaust, ignition.)

right now it has a 2 barrel that was switched from a 4 bbl in 96. I still have the original manifold for it. Any recommendations and comments welcome!!!!!!! Here she is........

 

Welcome to the website. That is a sweet car.

 

Hello Arnie
If you wanted to move it back toward original I should have a carb I got on a 1967 Olds 98 425. It would need rebuilt, but it should be the correct number for your car. If you weren't concerned about being original I would consider a Performer intake and a newer quadrajet that didn't have the divorced choke. You would need to get an electric choke rather than the stock setup to work with the Performer. John

 

what would i be better off with? Will the original give soome ooomph....or put an Edelbrock on the stock 4bbl manifold? Thanks.....oh yeah....how much for the original 2 blu442? By the way.....bad a$$ 442 man!!!

 

Arnie, to answer your questions, the 88 was a model in itself not a series of another model. The 425 may have been the optional big block for the 88 model that year. I am not sure and will have to check.

 

What I had meant Oldsguy is the car a custom, holiday or what. And how can I tell which series of the 425 series is it ( 365hp or 375hp?)? Thanks again.

 

Will have to check my references tonight.

 

It is a Delta 88 Holiday Coupe per VIN. It did have a 4bbl stock but was changed to a 2bbl in 1996.

 

I have just found some pics of the car befor its paint job in 95'. It had what looks like pinstripes down the side also. But the main thing is...how can I tell which 425 it is. Are there engine codes or what not? Thanks guys!

 

Very nice looking Delta. I have quite a bit of history and literature for the 67's (Delta's). I have a 67 convert myself. My dad (serious car collector) taught me to collect anything I can find that related to the model/year. I took his advice and now have quite a collection.

Shoot me an email and I will scan some info for ya.

BTW- your car color, if it matches original, is Saffron, same as mine.

 

Hey there 2blu442. I was wondering what you wanted for the carb and what it would be for shipping. Thanks.

 

PM sent, but a question for the the rest of the board, does anybody know if the throttle rod from the firewall to the carb is the same on a 2 and 4bbl? I'm already expecting that Arnie will need a divorced choke and air cleaner to go with a factory 4bbl carb, and he has the intake but do you guys forsee anything else he would need to make the swap? John

 

I am thinking the throttle for both a quadrajet, and a 2gc are center of the carb body? So I "assume" it will work.
