1966 442
Hi Guys...
I should have stopped here a few weeks ago, but have been busy cleaning out my garage. I wanted to share with you my first car. Bought in 1971, but haven't driven much over the last few years. My 66 has the 400E block, M-21 with 4.11 gears. Recently added the sidewinder tach, factory chambered exhaust & console. Now just ready for warmer weather in Lansing, Michigan. Hope to see you all at the Oldsmobile Homecoming show in June 2018!

David Forstad, right? I think I recall your story with that car from the 442.com site from nearly 20 years ago. Your car gave me inspiration when I had my own similarly equipped 66 442 vert. Glad to see you still have it.

Thanks Aliensatemybuick
... Now if I can just get 442.com to either change my "car show" pictures or remove it entirely, I would be happy. Somehow he reversed my engine compartment picture and it looks like the battery is on the passenger side. I am still getting questions about that to this day. LOL

Just went back to 442.com to refresh my memory (don’t go back there much these days -does anyone?);I see you added back the tri-carb setup you let go way back when. Never noted that flipped engine shot before. That site is like a fly caught in amber, recall a friend telling me years and years ago how he wrote to ask to have his ex-wife’s name removed from the link to his car pics to no avail.
