The Olds 6.6 (403) didn't come until '79. '80 had the 301 turbo or the 307 Olds.

My first car that I purchased in summer of 82’ was a 73’ Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme w/Rocket 455 engine,Turbo 400 trans & 2.73:1 limited slip diff.
The engine was only rated ar 250hp, but was very torky...it was a medium blue w/white interior & bucket seats with center console & shifter.
Tilt steering w/cushion grip sport wheel...2door hardtop (vinyl). 14” wheels w/stainless trim rings & something like G78x14 tires.
At 16yrs of age,,,my HotRodding day’s had began. 4,000 rpm shift points by the tachometer mounted on top of steering column w/hose clamp.
I learned how to tune a quadrajet carb well & adjust the points and timing.
This was not a very big car & we used to cut class & go d***-r*** at the nearby designated spot in the country...it jumped out the hole like a frog & kept pulling
I paid 1k for it & had title in hand,,,ugh the good old days
