[@tmackinator]

Olds engine in the 455? You'd have to prove that one.

[@slippersgarage4775]

Buicks 455 was not the same as Oldsmobile very different engines

Really? tell us more!

@@FirstPlaceAutoParts Buick olds Pontiac all made there own 455. The only thing they Share is the displacement. None of the parts are interchangeable. A Buick distributor and oil pump are built into the timing cover. The Pontiac olds 455 has the distributor on the back section of the engine. That is just scratching the surface, different strokes, different block castings, and much more.

You obviously don't know muscle cars from a hole in the ground. For instance , a 440 Six Pack did NOT have 2 3-barrel carbs. It had 3 2-barrel carbs!
