Proper engine decals location

[lemarin]

Is it à caution decal or emission decal ?

[X33RS]

That would be the emissions decal.

They never really had the caution fan decal originally however it wasn't unusual for the dealer to put one on when the car came in for service.  This happened a lot in the Ford world.  Originally no caution decals but Ford dealers commonly installed them at the cars first service.

So technically having a caution decal is incorrect but a lot of guys are installing them and calling it a "day 2" restoration :shrug: Depends on how you want to look at things I guess.  So many out there now it's become the norm for others doing restorations. 
  However I don't see this done much in the Chevy camp.

Yes that's the emission or tune up decal. Not a caution fan or caution thermostat sticker.

It is correct to have the labels on the fan shroud if you have Air Conditioning, as the hood seal gets in the way of the labels in their normal location.  The cores support above is drilled for the A/C seal retainers.

I'm glad you mentioned that - I was going to ask. Explains why my tag is not on the support, 'cause the seal definitely would obscure it -

Here is my original.

Great picture ! But looking at the size of your decal, it looks a bit different than the repro ones I've found.....

Look at the proportion of this one I bought, compare with yours:

I've definitely seen some non-AC cars with the emission sticker on the shroud, and not in the center of the shroud.
But most are on the core support.

Here's my original on the core support driver's side. Can just barely make out "CF"

It could be CF or CE, it's hard to see. According to heartbeat repro decal:

For the 302 and 350 (255 or 300) it's CF

For the 307, 327 and the 350/250 it's CE

For the 396 and 427 it's CH

For the other 396 it's CG



For the 396, it's CG, for the 302

[jdv69z]

It's "CF" - 302

[KurtS]

CD - L22   
CE - 307 & 327 & L65   
CF - LM1 & L48 & Z28 
CG - L35 & L34 
CH - L72 & L78 & ZL1

It's funny because when you buy the complete decal pack for the LM-1 at Heartbeat, they give you the CE decal....and when you look at the description of each emission decal sold separately, it's clearly indicated that for the LM-1, it's the CF that should be bought....They don't even apply their own description.

What is the decal located on the front of the radiator core ? It seems to be original as this is an 1969 327 survivor. Surprising to see that it's not on top of the core....

[m22mike]

That is because it is a air car and the seal is in the way. Also have seen them on the fan shroud on some cars.

Never say never..

I'm showing this picture because it's the first time I see a decal at this location....On my 69 RS with A/C, I put it on the fan's shroud (like this Z just above).

It seems that there was no constant on the location of those decals.....it may depends of the worker's humour, or maybe whom was working at the factory that day !
