1967 Olds GS

I just got a 1967 Olds Cut. G.S. And the only
thing I can find out about the motor is I think it
is a 330cid. I have not found out anything about
this motor EXE. it was made from 64 to 67. Must
Olds Motors of the year have the CID stamped on the
tran block mounting rig but this one only says 330
it this the right place to look and if not where
or how can I tell what it is . Or if there is
someone out there who can tell me more about this
motor I'd love to hear from them
Thank willy ( dagmeat422@hotmail.com)

If you see a "33" sequence in your VIN number, this has nothing to do with the engine...your VIN probably starts with 33807 or 33817 if its a coupe, and 33867 if a convertible.
So just go look at the engine number like I told you and you'll know what you have there.
The Skylarks came in standard, 350s and 400s, so it depends on which "series" of GS, year, etc. I'd guess that most GS didn't have the 400 but that's just a guess, based on buying habits. Again,we'd need to see serial #s to know for sure.
And Buick kinda diluted the original Gran Sports, didn't they?
In '65 and '66 they had the 401 engine with 325 H.P. standard. These were FAST!
Then they used the G.S. on other Skylarks with lesser engines.
Remember the Stage I models? I saw one of these make a pretty quick GTO look like a 6 cylinder!
I've always been a big fan of Buicks, and of the Stage I (and II) in particular, although I think for pure romance a dual-quad nail valve Riviera would be my choice. Not only were the Skylark GS's very fast, but the '70 had an exceptionally nice dashboard.
The Stage I and II's were incredible.
Then, the music died when the smog gurus decided to bog them down with emission equipment, lower the compression ratios, do away with premimum leaded gas, etc....sigh..
Smog pumps, primitive smog reducing devices, lean burn carbs, etc.
Do you remember in around 1973, in California, all cars built during a certain time had to have a NOX devise installed?
We used to cut the top radiator hose and splice these miserable things in. I remember they would cut off the distributor advance unless the car was about to overheat. They were awful!
Still, these primitive devices were needed (I guess) and took us to where we are today.
I also remember my mechanics cooling down choke springs by giving them a blast of R-12!
We didn't know what we were doing to the ozone layer!
