1966 Olds 442

Still, the 455 option was not on the market yet, and would not be untill 1970.  But there was another high-preformance (if not slightly high-priced) option.  For another $114, you could get the 442 with a 6-pack (Three 2 barrel carbs).  However, this was tacked onto the already high-ish price of the 442 option, and not too many people opted for it.  It only gave the car 360 horsepower, only a minor improvment over the regular 4 barrel engine, which put out 350.  There was no torque increses with the tri-power option either.  Only 2129 out of 21997 cars got equiped with the 6-pack, making the combanation pretty rare.
     The auto transmission was called a Jetway, and was advertized as a 2.5 speed.  This was because of the switch plate converter, but mainly it was just marketing hype.  There were now three manual shifts offered.  The 3-speed was standered, and a 4-speed was an option.  For a few more bucks, you could get a 4-speed Hurst close-ratio shifter.
      Preformance went up a little, according to car and driver.  It now ran the 1/4 mile in 14.59 seconds, at 100.5 miles an hour.
