Henry, can you tell me anything about 66 heads, specifically whether ALL were drilled/tapped for AIR plumbing, with the holes plugged on non-AIR applications?

A buddy just bought a 66 Starfire, Southgate built car, that has threaded plugs in the AIR bosses. It shows evidence of originally being a K19 car (compressor bracket), but the CSM shows the heads both drilled/tapped AND plugged, and I've never paid very close attention to them at Nats unless I saw the smog pump in place.

The car is probably 95% unrestored original and he wants to find out if it had the smog pump. I've already told him that finding a correct K19 setup is going to be futile and expensive, since most got trashed as soon as the car left California. This one came to NC via Texas and Illinois.

What I've surmised that if a car was assembled in Cal but intended for sale elsewere the heads were drilled, tapped and plugged, it will also have the tall oil filer tube. No other hardware present. If the Starfire has the mounting bracket for the reactor pump I'm sure it was originally equipped with the full system. I have 2 '66's that were assembled in Cal and they both have the K19 delete consisting of drilled, tapped and plugged heads and the tall oil filler tube. All my other '66's were built in Lansing are not tapped and drilled and carry the short oil filler tube. My '67 CHP 88 built in Lansing had the full Cal smog system as did any Olds sold in Cal. for '66 or '67. My thanks to Curt A. of Minn. who clarified for this for me a few years ago. Henry.
