For 1971, the casting was changed to read "Olds-W-455." Some late 1970 cars are said to have, "Olds W-455" cast on the intake.
This intake may not be correct for an early 1970?

Turns out that the intake is correct for this W30.
"Cars built after 3 Jan 70 should have the OLDS W-455 intake. We have never seen a December BUILT car have one. The earliest casting dates are in the mid December time frame. The Early OLDSMOBILE W-455 intakes are some of the hardest to locate. We have also seen date codes as early as 13 Aug 69 on the Oldsmobile intake. "
