The Oldsmobile 442 means (400 cubic inches-after '65) (four barrel carb) and (dual exhaust) if your car does not have these it is not a true 442. The 350 that year had only 160hp to 180hp but the 442 should have had the 455 and 270hp to 300hp. Are you sure your car is a 442? It may be a cutlass with a 442 paint job.
