[1970 delta 88 Please help please]

Actually, 65-70 B-body GM cars are interchangeable, but disk brakes were only offered in 67-70. The B-body cars are the Olds 88, Pontiac Bonneville, Chevy Impala, and Buick LeSaber. The C-body cars may also interchange (Olds 98, Buick Electra, and Caddies) but someone else needs to verify this.

During this year range each GM division had unique spindle design and the DO NOT interchange only Olds 88 and 98 interchange. Henry

One other quick ID is that 5 inch bolt pattern uses a 13/16 socket to remove the lugnuts, while the 4 3/4 bolt pattern uses a 3/4 inch socket to remove lugnuts. Assuming the lugnuts are original to the car.

Where are you located?

Does the driver side spindle have provision for the speedometer drive cable? If so that marks it as 65-70 full size rwd Oldsmobile.

GM used a separate hub/rotor design prior to the 1971 model year.

[1968 Cutlass S Holiday Coupe Shoulder Belts Standard???]

Shoulder belt law took effect on Jan. 1 1968 so a '68 model year car built in calender year 1967 was not required to have them. Look at the build date on the Fisher cowl plate, if the month is 08, 09, 10, 11, or 12 it was still an option. 01 and later builds were required to have shoulder belts.

[F.S. 1966 Olds 400 engine $ 500.00 *DELETED*]

Need to know a little more info on some codes.

(1)There's a date code cast to the right of the distrbutor, be a number between 1 and 365.

(2)There's casting numbers/letter on the block surface behind the water pump and in front of the intake manifold.

(3)Cylinder heads have a large letter cast in front of # 1 spark plug or behind # 8 spark plug.

(4)Front of the right side cylinder there is a letter/number code stamped on a flat machined surface.

Thanks, those codes will tell me all a lot of what I need to know, Henry

[1955 Buick Century "Highway Patrol" article and possible DVD]

Brian,

Thanks for the great details. In the post-WWII world of police cars, most of them were stripped down Chevies (Biscayne or 150)Ford (Custom or Custom 500) or MOPARs. The idea of a state getting GM to make a special car JUST FOR THEM and it NOT be another stripped down Chevy, but rather a powerful Buick is fascinating.

CHP had specs written to eliminate lighter cars, no Fords, Chevies or Plymouths during the 50/60/70's.

Do you know what California did with their old police cars? Were they sold to the public like most cities do now?

Sold at public auction, my 67 Olds Delmont was purchased at a state auction in September 1970. I found it on eBay as part of the owners estate.

I think he wants to know if a 66 400 can be bored out to take 425 pistons.
