If they are not smart enough to post the picture of the actual item they are selling, well.. I sure am not going to be giving them any of my money. I'm dumb, but I isn't stupid.. D

If you weren't happy with it after receipt, I'm sure they would allow you to return it.

Of course, but why start out with that possibility. It's too easy to make it right the first time, so THAT doesn't have a chance of happening. Or at least a much lesser one. IMO... D

The biggest difference I have found between original air cleaner decals and reproduction ones is that the original ones had the foil finish applied over a thin manila colored layer of cardboard, like the photo Z28-RS posted of his original one.  A few years ago now I stupidly replaced my original one because it was peeling away on the edges with an all foil one.  I'm waiting for someone to reproduce one with the correct thin piece of cardboard under the foil top.

I do not think either are 100% correct.  Bowtie Muscle got the font correct for the "302" and "Turbo Fire" but missed out on the size and on the "290 Horsepower" The other is not correct at all to me.

Side question.  

Did the originals have "printed in the usa" on them?  I cant remember ever seeing it on one.  I guess because everything back then was made in the USA.
How about printed in USA!

Chick thanks for posting.  Does your 68 still have the original decal?  Does it have the same?

Danny.. maybe Hearbeat City ?  I was just checking their decals out.  The 302/290 HP appears to be one of the better ones I've seen on the web.  Haven't seen it personally and I'm gonna need one also.  Maybe someone there would be kind enough to send a pic looking dead on from their phone instead of looking at the pic they advertise which is on on angle.

Darrell, wish I could answer but chrome lid and decal on mine were gone due to air cowl plenum. The picture posted is from a 69Z survivor and thought I had a picture of a 68Z survivor but not in my pic files. Steve would know as he checks a lot of survivors. :)

Doesn't appear to have 'PRINTED IN USA' on it though.
