the 400 t/a 6.6 stickers on the shaker, are left over high horsepower ponitac 400 code Z motors. they built about 5000 extra motors in 78, and stuffed them away. so when new emissions came out, they pulled the other 5k motors out and said oops! but, those motors all got the Borg Warner Super T-10 four speed, the W-72 package

How do you tolerate the Eddie Money?

@Ratmouth66 right the WS6 is 8" wide, others 7". not only that but there are 2 kinds of WS6 snowflakes as well

transnewton22>>> i noticed the same thing and agree, t/a6.6 decal v 6.6 litre. kinda makes you mad. i really like the car, especially the hardtop. i have always been a fan of the blue t/a 6.6 hardtop no bird. next would be the brown, with or without the bird...hardtop! (no tees due to the body stress when torquing, the famous quarter panel crack)

@Transnewton22 Well, I wouldn't call it a flaw. It sucks because you order the damn decal kit. but they only include the "T/A 6.6" decals for the shaker. so you have to spend another 20 or 30 bucks to get the "6.6 LITRE" if you have the 403. I'm sure it wouldn't cost them much at all to at least give the option of which particular engine you have or just put both in the kit. Crap like this is what helps run restoration costs way over budget! robbery....

@Ratmouth66 Oh and i meant the WS6 wheels were thinner and lighter, not non-WS6, that wouldnt make sense haha.

@Ladco77 i bought an identical car s this 2 years ago even the same color lol (sept mine was a pile of shit when i bought it)....but it never had any body for done to it and it never had the decals touched and and had the T/A 6.6 on it......well it was half ripped off but it still had the outline of it haha.....almost finished restoring that pile now though cant wait till it looks like the one in this vid

@1MrErling FYI, you have the wrong decal on the shaker. The 403 Olds engined cars should read "6.6 Litre" on the shaker. Only Pontiac 400 engined cars got the "T/A 6.6" decal. It's one of those small items that usually gets overlooked.
One nifty note that i didnt know until recently (and im a self-proclaimed T/A-Z28 guru xD) there were actually two different sets of snowflake wheels, the WS6 and non-WS6, non-WS6 were a little thinner and lighter, just kinda a neat fact not that Jeff missed something though, i have respect for Jeff he rarely forgets the little amazing details on all these cars and when he does you still gotta remember he's remembering the tiniest details on countless models of cars, many kudos jeff ;-)

Sorry Jeff, but i belive it isn't a T/A engine (400), but a 403 Oldsmobile engine. The Olds and was only for sale in California at the time.

Yes, I said Old's 403... we ended up pulling it apart for the buyer, installing a high performance cam and aluminum h.p. heads before shipping ;)
