front sheet metal is same for 66 to 98 - just extra chrome trim on fenders
dash is same way - some trim is just stamped steel/painted - others are pot metal chromed
rear fenders are not interchangeable between 66 and other models 76-78-98 body lines -(chevrolet gas filler is on right fender)
tail lights are also different between models although glass lens is same
but hey if your going to strip car take it all
I wouldif you have any more questions let me know I pop in here every now and then
good luck with project

welcome to forum
your question about vin number location - the number you show is a engine number
heres what I know
70 series engine number prefix
G is syncro-mesh
GA is hydra-matic
engine number is stamped at top leftside of the engine cylinder block just back of water pump
car serial number is stamped on a plate that is riveted to the upper left hand corner of engine side of dash
tag should read OLDS 76L----- or OLDS 76C-----
first two digits are model number
followed by where car was built
L would be Linden
C would be California
then followed by a 4 or 5 digit serial number
hope this helps

Just in case you might break something - I've got a complete 41 olds 6 and three speed - rusty sitting next to garage - it hasn't be touched in years - its been in weather - might be good - for a part or two - just keep me in mind - down the road - wife wanted to make a flower pot out of it

unless your looking for something chrome
you can make one - you'll need a piece of 1/4 X 1 1/4 flatbar and a grinder to shape it - drill two holes

I would guess your buddy did check for water in oil like dave said
and with what you said about distributor getting steam bath I think I would also try new cap/rotor/coil or go to local used part yard and get whole distributor

have you tried bending the curve about 6" to 8" from the end of strip and then cut it off where needed
I found this was the way to do window strips in my olds

what started out as a cold winter day drive out to the country
we got about 25 miles from home - driving along interstate -all of sudden engine died and car backfired - -tryed to restart it but only would turn over - coasted to side of road , and wouldnt you known it - right at the end of merging lane (on ramp)on shoulder of road - Thank goodness wife had her cellphone with her - called the wrecker service I always use - they said it could be 3 hrs before a flatbed wrecker could get there - anyway I told them its a 1941 Oldsmobile and needed a flatbed - there guy gave me a number for a wrecker service close to me where I was at - called them and told them same thing I needed a flatbed wrecker cause it was old car and wont start - and was at a very bad spot on interstate - guy said he would get a truck out there as quick as he could - it nice to own a old car sometimes - the truck showed up in about 30 mins - anyway its points & condenser only lasted a little over 1000 miles
NO SPARK had a spare set at home in garage -

December 7 . 1941
yep today we drove the 41 around today - in honor of the few left, that were there - my dad was one of them - veteran of Pearl Harbor - he passed away many years ago - this month
That man is deeply missed
and when we get that smile from the older folks while we were out today
you know just seeing that car driving down road , puts them in a place & time long ago
God Bless Veterans that gave it all

water in engine - bad on bearing if it was started
I would pass on it

you could try and run another wire from starter solnoid Term IGN to 12V side of coil as a test or just hot wire coil and test it that way
some olds motors like my big block - to start after its hot - I put gas pedal on floor and hit key - works every time for me
Safe heat sources for an oversized two car garage?

another means if you could locate one is those old fashion oil fired wall heater but you'll have to have a oil tank out back - and a exhaust stack
but my brother has this set up in his garage and its very warm in there during winter - I just use a construction type propane heater in mine / but you got to leave windows open to be safe and when messing with gas make sure its off
would even think about elect heat - man my house has heat pump - and put another one out in garage - POWER COMPANY would love me
