- Having worked at the local Olds dealer in '63 and '64 I can vouch for the accuracy of your information. The Olds was called the "Jetfire," (Later to become MUCH LARGER) and was a Cutlass coupe (Or co

- Another unique atribute of the Olds version was the use of additional headbolts due to the turbocharger pressures. Of the GM versions, the Olds engine may be the one to have. Now days people consider

- Does anyone remember what these Olds systems looked like? I recall once reading that GM had an induction system on F-85s (maybe this was not the production design) that used a jet of air from the tur
