Hey MO...it was a joke!!! I like to insert some fun sh** once in awhile. I know there is no way that some fool would convert a V8 car into a 6, but I was nearly fool enough to create my own '69 6-banger from (12337 car) about 15 years ago with an original '69 with a swapped 350, 4-speed (swapped from the original 3-speed), and a really nice blue standard interior. I had located a donor '69 Nova with a 230 and a 3-on-the-tree column and was hoping to rebuild it to its original drivetrain. Unfortunately I waited a little too long and the car was sold (maybe it is now a '69 Z...I have that feeling).
MO...that is a distinct possibility...makes perfect sense to me. I know you are a detail-oriented guy...have you seen this painted mark before on trunk seals? I have noticed that the repop trunk seals look remarkably dissimilar to the originals (like a lot of other repop stuff).
PS...I found a posting from 2008 on here from "Firstgenaddict" regarding the orange mark. You are correct that it was used to orient the seal during installation on the assembly line.
