      That's the nature of network production. Time is money. A network like Motortrend/Discovery+ has to get max views/per minute to support the profit margin.
      Think about it, a 22 minute show will have about the same number of viewers ans a 55 minutes show. Just that the viewers will be there longer. That doesn't always equal more sales for the advertisers.

      @@thechillhacker the 330 was only offered in one 88 model. That was the Jetstar 88 and only in 1964. It was an attempt by Olds to offer a lower price point by equipping an 88 with the F85 drivetrain. Somewhat of a morphodite, besides the 330, you got a version of the 2 speed powerglide, a rear end, steering and suspension parts specific to that car only. I’ve had two, one a bare bones radio delete base, the one I have now is fully loaded with the optional 310 horse 330 available in the 442.

    I kind of figured this job would go smoothly as you partner on this venture was well lubricated.

    I picked up an 82 Olds wagon. Found a disassembled 72 olds 350. Rebuilt the engine with a q-jet 4bbl. It ran so good I used to tow with it.

    We had an 87 olds in the family. 6 cylinder, a/c, tape deck. No other options. I still miss that car. This rescue should be a long episode.

    '"you could put a full size bed back there" Well, i know a 3/4 box spring and mattress fit. Also grandma's chesterfield (sofa) fits with the tail gate down. Great car for moving a college student!

    I had a Delta 88 that was a 1982 and it was one of the best cars I ever had. Good old four door sedan.

    A family vacation is not truly a family vacation without doing so in a station wagon and cruising down Route 66. This Olds station wagon looks sporty too so that's a major plus!

    the same exact engine my 82 Buick had, I changed just about every part in that thing, over 100k miles that teflon/plastic toothed sprocket on the cam will detonate from all the heat cycles.
