Intakes & duals exhaust

If you search ebay "edmunds 2x1 oldsmobile intake" you'll find ONE- otherwise you'll have to have one made as well as an exhaust. There are a few guys who still dabble in splitting your stock exh/ try www.hamb.com
I was quoted $500-1000 by a local shop to make one from scratch.


The Chevy, Buick, & Pontiac 6 cylinder model engines are left hand or drivers side intake/exhaust, where as the Olds is right hand or passenger side. You may find something to fit, but the vac line hole will be on the wrong end of the motor, & if its an exh the downtube will point towards the front....RIGHT where your fuel pump is...

The other issue is IF you do get an intake- the stock carb flange is 2 3/4" where an aftermarket (edmunds/offy) is 2 15/16" just far enough off by about a bolt hole or stud with.
Call Carlos @ www.carbsonly.com & get your wallet ...ready.

Good Luck!!!!

It may help to know that engine is 238 cu in.... by having this information, you may find some parts that fit.

good luck
