Depends on assembly plant. Some plants put them in the car, some didn't. Sometimes different shifts at the same plant did them different. You find them under the carpet, stuffed in the front or rear seat springs or headliner, on top of the gas tank or glovebox... basically meaning some disassembly is required to find it, if it even exists.

I have never seen one in a Lansing car though I did find the broadcast card for my 1974 Hurst. Weird too, because it plainly states W30 for that VIN when it is a Y77 appearance package car with 350-engine. I think W30 code may have been generic for all the Hurst/Olds produced that year.

I would really not worry too much about it. Your car is assembled and optioned like many 1974 88s, and things like courtesy lamp and electric trunk packages could be dealer installed and no documentation exists anywhere unless you have the service order.

First you should determine where your car was built. Both the cowl tag and the VIN will tell you that. If you can't decode these, post a photo of the cowl tag or just post your car's VIN, and we can help you.

The point is that, as rocketraider says, Lansing-built cars don't have build sheets because that plant was more meticulous compared to the other assembly plants about not leaving them behind in the car. If your car IS a Lansing-built car, I wouldn't bother to look for one, even just a little bit. It's a virtual certainty your car wouldn't have one.
