    Hey Rivnut, according to our new forum rules, these kind of non-stock aftermarket add-ons aren't allowed to be posted on this site any longer. 

     

    You are in violation of those rules, my friend. 

     

     

     

     

    (of course I personally don't care, but it just goes to show how ridiculous those rules are)

     

    Hehehe,

     

    Yeah I get the point.

     

    Still not sure this would violate as it was officially embraced and marketed by Buick in 72.

    I personally attempt to keep as factory/original as possible and appreciate that many members of the RoA specialize in this venue. That being said, I have often posted modified Rivieras, such as a 66 Dual Quad GS with hydraulics, because it is good to be informed as to what is out there and provides for perspective conversation associated. It should be based on the perspective and intentions of the post more than subject/object alone. I will dial back the sexual content (hehe) and less historical content, however it seems fair game if the proper amount of Riviera DNA is detected. For example when people post Chimera High-breeds with boat-tail in the back and Clamshells in front; these "what if" type concept scenarios seem historically relevant TO ME anyway. Lets keep it classy and hope they don't split hairs.

    NOS Valve Cover Cap

    I'm confused - why does the '66 dual quad valve cover have a separate oil fill cap in the middle of the left valve cover?

     

    The '64/'65 dual quad motors only have the breather cap at the front.  To add oil, you remove the breather cap and pour it in there.

     

    Why did Buick go to a separate oil fill opening on the '66 dual quad motor?

     

    Also, did ALL '66 dual quad left hand valve covers have that 'bump' or dip?  This presumably to clear the A.I.R. pump.  But I understand A.I.R. was only mandatory for cars sold new in California in '66 and '67.  Did Buick use the bumped valve cover in all dual quad equipped cars, even those sold in states where AIR was not required?

     

     

     

     

    All 66 GS had that dip, not just California vehicles.

    These are indeed very rare although they are slept on for value and rarity, I actually own one of these with every single manufacturer and dealer option, I also have the compass that is very rare and it is impossible to estimate what it is even worth considering rarity and what not. Probably a very rare car I am in possession of but won’t receive its full worth if I were to sell which is u fortunate 

    Sounds really cool. Do you have any Holiday pictures to show?
