Technical Intake manifold ??

I inherited an intake manifold with carbs from my dad he had a cpl 66 442's. It appears to be an L69. All the numbers seem to be right but there is an AL on the casting and off all the ones I've seen online(not that many) none have had AL. Anyone know what's up with that?? Thanks.

 

Pictures please.....

 

All the 442's I've seen have a single 4barrel. 3-2's were on 57- 371's to start and may have stopped in 58. I don't remember a 394" having 3-2's. 442's also were 400" to start and went to 455's. Good luck.

 

yup looks lagit wish it were mine. That's a lot more than I ever got from my ol man!!!! Thanks J S for a rambling uninformed Olds history...

 

That's a rare piece...
Hang onto it!!!!!

 

J2 ??

 

No, optional in one year only, 1966 442.

 

Awesome thank you. I couldn't imagine him having anything other than the L69. I've heard stories of this my whole life lol

 

HAMB....always learning........

 

That's a good one! Hard to find'em.

 

So I'm finding. I feel like I should probably sell it someone that will use it and enjoy it. I'm more a 1st gen Blazer fan.

 

as rare as:

 

1966 400 365 horse power 15 more than 4 barrel.

 

...or put an Olds 400 with the intake in one of your blazers........

 

WELL, I'll be your huckleberry! That would be right at home in my '66 F-85

 

OORR... my '65 442??? now what blazer parts do you need? I might have what you need

 

The first 442s were 1964s with 330" engines. 1966 is the only year 442s had tri-power as an option.

 

Unfortunately I lost my 72 K5 in the divorce so I have to find one to start all over.

 

Wow, that's a rare piece! You know there's an Olds guy out there somewhere who's dying to have that.

 

Yea that's what my dad always said. He was the Olds guy for sure.

 

I guess I just have to find him...or her lol

 

It will fit a 455.

 

Yea a 400 425 and 455.

 

A kid I went to high school with had a tri power ram air 442. His dad owned the Olds dealership in town and he went down the option list and special ordered it on dad's dime.
2 door post car . Ram air tri power ,4 speed ,4.33 posi . He was hard to handle on the street. It helped to sell a bunch of new 442's in the area.

 

Hi
Not a olds guy but back then, A tru 442 stood for 4 barrel 4 speed and duel exhaust
