First off... I am a member of "wild about cars online" so can't find what I need there... so maybe someone here can be of help..

1968 350 Olds Rocket 4 barrel Automatic w/AC
engine code: TN or QP ? What is the difference?
Some venders show TN for the decal and some show QP...

Some only show TN for '71 but other show it for '68
Some only show QP... for '68 - 72
www.supercarsunlimited may have it right because "Olds" are all they do... but again, they only show QP...


I am so confused... HELP !!!

 

Engine code TN was only used with the Delmont 88.

QR and QS were used with the Vista Cruiser.

QN and QP were used with Cutlass and Cutlass Supreme.

So, the question is, what kind of car do you have?

I have a Cutlass S Convertible - Riddle solved (I hope). Where did you get this info...?
Looked for days web search just turned up very little...
Thanks

 

QP (for the Cutlass line)


(QN was non A/C)


In the Assembly Manual too:

 

Interesting.....it shows to 400 HC motor (442 motor) to be available on the VC


Never knew that

 

Ok... I bought an assembly manual from a vender that sent an unsatisfactory (hard to read print) copy. I should have returned it, but it did say (on the eBay listing) reproduced from a copy and some pages are hard to read. But almost the entire thing looks like they were running low/out of ink. That's why I became a member of wildaboutcars.com but could not find it... I guess I just needed help, so thanks a million. Jack

 

I had a hard copy but the one that I posted from above was from WAC. Generally the stuff I have from WAC is pretty good quality but things that need decent resolution to read (like the wiring diagrams in the Service Manual) are better with originals.

 

Yes, I agree... someone at wild about cars needs to seriously focus the wiring diagrams. I cant read the print, let alone see the electrical parts.

 

Yup. RPO L78. $339.02, as spelled out in the Salesman's SPECS booklet:

 

I have the 68 wiring diagram scanned in PDF & jpg in high-rez. If you'd like it, PM me your email address

 

Wow! I did not know you could get a 400 4bbl on the Vista Cruiser...I knew you could get a 400 but I thought it was only the 2bbl version...you learn something every day!

My email jrgotulsa@yahoo.com Send the wiring diagram...
Thanks, Jack

 

For whatever it's worth, IB recently increased the maximum upload sizes to 4.77mb for all types (including pdf and jpg), so if it fits, you could always just upload it here.

Hey... Mike... Here is another question for you... I bought these "Blue" GM Mark of Excellence stickers I see on some '68 Olds Cutlass and 442's but were they really used '68 ? Vendor's OPGI, Fusick, etc. sell them and say all GM "blue" decals for 68-72. Is this a sales pitch or were they really put on these cars? I bought them so.... trying to decide. Thanks, Jack

 

I don't remember seeing them on 68's but I don't know for sure

 

I downloaded a picture of one (of several) that I have found on the internet... Strangely enough one vendor (OPGI) has a notation in their sales catalog that says they were used on the drivers side door... who knows (?) probably just trying to sell more stuff...

 

If you mean the square blue-on-white, about 2" sticker, I, personally, don't recall seeing those on '68s, but they could have just come off.

Someone on here will know for certain, but I would bet that if you were to contact Mark Cornea (DrDecal), he'd be able to tell you. He seems like a straight shooter.
