    Does anyone have any pictures or information as to where to place the engine specs. label on an early 70 GS 455 (plastic radiator top). I know there is a difference on early cars vs. late cars. Next where can I get a correct one.

    Hey Duane you out there?

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Bill,
    There are several places that sell the early stickers. Here is a picture from Brad's GSX for placement.

    Duane,

    I knew you would know.Thanks for the enlightenment. Any idea where the he anti-freeze and Calif.emissions label supplement might be placed? Also I had a 350 car that had the timming info.on the Drivers side of the radiator top. Were there different placements between 350 & 455 cars?


    Thanks Again,

    Bill

    Bill,
    Now you made me look in the assembly manuals. All the 70 assembly manuals I have show the later style steel cover, with the decals in the center, so they are no help. My late 70 Calif GSX had the NA9 decal directly behind the emission decal.

    I don't think it matters which side you place the decals on the early cars, and there should be no difference between 350 and 455 cars. Maybe someone here can supply a picture.

    As to your other question about an "anti-freeze" label, I don't quite understand. I know of Canadian bound cars with labels, but they were placed on one of the inner fenders.

    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    I looked in my original 1970 road tests and there were 2 different "early" cars with the plastic radiator cover, both cars had the small decal on the driver's side. They were probably applied on either side depending on the installer. The original plastic covers we have seen, all have had the decal on the driver's side also. Either would probably be considered correct.

    Thanks Guys,

    Duane I also looked in the assm. manual before I started this thread. Iam surprised that they didn't show the early style plastic cover. I got confused with the anti-freeze decal. Guess I don't need them. Sometimes too much info.(looking at repro parts books) confuses the issues.

    Bill,
    As the parts changed during the production year the drawings were changed to reflect this. These "new" drawings replaced the earlier sheets, therefore you would need the first version of the assembly manual to see the plastic cover.
    If anyone had the original version it would show that picture.
