You have to remove and replace the oscillator module on the motherboard.  
It is a moderately fiddly soldering job.  I imagine a 66MHz machine uses 
a 132Mhz oscmod, so to overclock you need somthing like a 160Mhz 
oscmode.  I don't know if these are available after-market.  The highest 
I have seen listed in 86MHz, which would be suitable for a 33MHZ machine.
