I do have some NOS
Magnum 500 Wheels that fit

 

you have a PM

 

It would help if you told us what date range you were looking for. Something in the 90-30 days prior to the build date of your car would be considered correct.

 

66 3x2 posted he has a restored tricarb. His work is impeccable..I have bought many parts from him, always correct.

 

I

I am afraid I am not sure of the exact date - here is a cowl plate for those who know how to decode.

Afraid I am a Mopar restorer and just got a little carried away with doing this one as fell in love with it.

Speaking of that if anyone can properly decode this would be much appreciated as it is obvious there are a lot of Olds fans here!!

Regards
Frank

 

Thanks, Andy - speaking with him currently - but appreciate the heads up.

 

12D build date=12=December 1965 4th week.
66-33867 Cutlass Convertible Lan=Lansing Mi plant 3046 body sequence #

Thanks for the reply but should have mentioned that I am planning on putting on manual disc brakes all around and need 15 x 7 front and 15 x 8 rear wheels.

The car is really quick with a done-up 455 which is Upgraded To 1970 Olds 442 Hi-Performance 455 Engine With The 1970 Cast Marked E 10.5 to 1 Compression Ported and Polished Cylinder Heads and W-30 Camshaft

And even though those would not be stock might save my life!!

 

12D is the fourth week (D) of December (12), 1965, so date code correct for this car would be Oct - Dec 1965.
For the rest of the cowl tag:

ST 66 = 1966 model year
33867 = Oldsmobile (3) Cutlass (38) convertible (67)
LAN = Lansing assembly plant
3046 BODY = Fisher Body sequence number
TR 985-R = red bucket seat interior
R-1 PAINT = Target Red (R) with a white (1) convertible top

ACC Codes
Group 1
W = tinted windshield
S = power trunk
Group 2
L = hole and mounting plate for four speed floor shifter
G = mounting brackets for console
Group 5
V = 442 option
Y = deluxe seat belts

Sounds like a very nice car. Congrats.

 

Beat me by eight minutes.

 

Damn Joe, you always gotta show how much you know.

 

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do. On one hand, your shopping list looks like you are doing a high dollar stock restoration. On the other, you talk about doing "manual disc all around" which literally no one does. If you're a drag racer, you do manual drums. If you're a pro-tourer with a resto mod, then you do power disc all around. If you're a stock restorer, you do power drum or manual drum. If you're restoring a cruiser and taking small liberties with being factory correct, you put factory front disc on it for a little more longevity during a bunch of stops for the brakes. None of those are four wheel manual disc.

In my opinion, people should not sell you rare parts if you're doing some weird resto-mod, so, why do you want to go four wheel manual disc? Do you not know that four wheel drums are fine for normal driving? It's also worth noting that most SSIs and all SSIIs fit factory front disc.

 

That's a pretty condescending reply to guy looking for parts and is new here. You're better than that.

 

Koda:

What I am trying to do is build myself a Summer Sunday driver to my specifications and needs. I have built many cars for many purposes Example:
1928 Steel Body Ford Model A pickup with a Bill Phillips 8V71 Blower 468 Bowtie big block (what sacrilege) - Doug Nash 5 Speed and Frank Detroit Locker Q/C Rear - see image and yes that was done in 1988 and that was my wife who loved to drive it behind the wheel - a true 10 second street truck. So I have been doing this for many years and know what I am doing and what I want - what is this garbage about not selling me parts - we all have different wants and needs and this forum is just to help other owners and friends to do exactly what they want to do not be dicatated to by someone who has no clue to my abilities and wants and needs. Also including some other cars some done exactly stock or others as I wanted them at that time - see pictures.

 

 

Perhaps, but I don't think I'm wrong, nor do I think most here would disagree with me.

I don't think rare parts that probably number in the 20s left in the country should be used in a resto-mod. Calling my post garbage, and claiming that I am dictating to you won't change that. Good luck with your parts hunt.

 

Totally agree but the look is EXTREMELY BAD FROM YOUR END NOT MINE - WHAT I DO WITH MY CARS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS - PERIOD !!

WHO ARE YOU TO DICTATE TO ME OR ANY MEMBER OF THIS GROUP - SONNY BOY!!

I WAS BUILDING AND RACING CARS 55 YEARS AGO. MY FIRST RACE - STREET CAR WAS A 1967 GTX RUNNING DUAL QUADS - HOOKER FENDERWELL EXHAUST DUMP AT FLICK OF SWITCH HEADERS - 4.88'S WITHIN 2 WEEKS FROM THE TIME IT WAS DELIVERED FROM COLUMBIA DODGE IN NEW WESTMINSTER BC - IT RAN AT MISSION RACEWAY AND ON THE STREETS IN AND AROUND VANCOUVER AND THE FRASER VALLEY BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

AND THESE ARE NOT THAT RARE : OLDS 442 TRI-POWER FOR SALE

 

Guess I shouldn't have bothered making a nicer version of my reply. I'm a little confused how a seven post, joined today, noob is talking trash on what I can and can't say. Not too concerned though, considering how you went from calm to heart attack in two posts, you won't last long here, or on this mortal coil, either.

 

Hello There
I do have NOS in 15x6 size x 5 Four are still in boxes DATED 1967
some day 2 stuff Purchased for a 1966 car but never used
Also a pair of 15x7 that were custom made in about the year 2000 Nice BUT they were used for a few years
Have sets of NOS and Reproduction Center Caps for SSI
Also have TRI CARB intakes , carbs etc etc

my email brian55369@gmail.com if you want pictures

 

koda,i happen to agree with you as to why look for extremely rare correct this or that when none of it actually belongs there.i think the search would be more fruitful if the requests weren't so specific

 

The OP happens to have a 66 442 convertible that he's looking for parts for. Pray tell me why a tri carb doesn't belong on his car?

 

The same rules apply to Parts wanted threads, they are not intended for unsolicited conversation.

 

I'll make a non-specific person or vehicle thread in gen discussion.

 

But that said I did come here with a specific well-thought-out request for parts that I am looking for and never expected to be waylaid in that endeavor.

And it will not happen again from my end.

By the way:

NICE FORUM - FUNCTIONS WELL AND NICE TO SEE IT IS WELL USED AND APPRECIATED.

Regards
Frank Rayner

 

not exactly what i was trying to say,i was alluding to the fact it wasn't born with it so why the specific search,seems it would be easier to find from a broader search without the specificity of an exact part number.i think all 66s should have tri carb,maybe even 65s

 

Welcome to the site and hopefully you find what you are looking for and stick around. This site has a lot to offer.

 

There are a few A$$ holes on here but do not let that discourage from looking, the good ones will answer any questions you may have. And you can build your car any way you want.

 

Ed:

This forum has already helped me determine just what car I truly have in a quick and easy manner due to the helpful members here and Mike has fulfilled my initial request for a top-notch Tri Power.

So batting 100 so far and look forward to seeing what else we can move forward with - so not going anywhere.

But thanks for the encouragement..

The more I drive the old girl - the more I like it - smooth - good handling and a fun ride - WITH A LOT OF THUMBS UP.

Just got to make it my own AND EXACTLY HOW I WANT IT TO BE!!

 

As stated will be in touch soon regarding the wheels - thanks for heads-up to what you have.

Regards
Frank

 

i have the power antenna-call 54o 931 2198

 

WTF is wrong with some of you guys? The guy wants rare desirable parts and looks like he’s planning a couple different mods. If you don’t like it… don’t bother replying. It’s not your money or your car

 

Hey Man
I got them valve covers

 

 

if he passes I may take them if the passenger side is notched

 

I AM AMAZED AT THE RESPONSE AND A LOT OF WHAT I WAS REQUESTING HAS BEEN LOOKED AFTER - PLEASE SEE THE STARTER THREAD WHICH HAS BEEN QUOTED HERE. I SAY THANKS ALL THAT REPLIED AND FIND THIS FORUM TO BE A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR THE OLDS COMMUNITY - REGARDS Frank Rayner

 

Just want to thank all the community members for their helps in looking after my needs.

Especially Mike or 66-3X2 442

He went far beyond what I would ever expect - knew exactly what I needed and even ordered any parts he did not have and had delivered to him then shipped direct to me.

The man is a wealth of knowledge and truly loves what he does and does it well and was a pleasure to deal with.

So except for some small bumps from some members that were trying to dictate to me how i should build my car this forum worked out great.

Regards

Frank Rayner

 

Thank you Frank for the kind words. I really try to help and satisfy anyone I do business with.

Mike

 

I'm glad you've been able to get most of the items you are looking for. Be aware that there was no factory 8 track player offered on the 1966 cars. It was first available on the 1967 full size models and in 1968 on the A-body cars.
