When you have given no information with your post, how would anybody know why you came up with that? Either you don't have a '98, the VIN you're using is wrong or where you looked it up is wrong.
I can only guess the latter.
I'd look it up in the 1964 Chassis Service Manual. Available in downloadable PDF format free of charge on Wild About Cars.
http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50

Wild About Cars. http://wildaboutcars.com. An information supersource, especially Oldsmobile. More Olds content than anywhere else on the internet and continuing to grow.
You'll find Chassis Service Manuals, Product Information Manuals (AKA Assembly Manuals), Inspector's Manuals, and other documents that will contain this and much much more.
Dealer Brochures, magazine ads and articles.

Good site Allan The links they provide such as this one is missing some info on Oldsmobiles from 1968 - 1980. I sent an email to them about it and offered to help them if they needed it.
