Title: Decals and stickers on Air Cleaners?
Post by: BowtieSweden on June 29, 2011, 05:49:17 AM
Hi,

Have an Air Cleaner #6423907 for my Camaro -69.

A question about decals and stickers on the air cleaner.

Were it decals on the cars from the beginning-from factory, or is it something that is "invented" lately?
For example, those with 427 with flags, turbo 427/425hp and so on.
Is it an aftermarket stuff?

No the decals are original factory fitted items.
Each engine option had a correct decal based on its family (L6 or V8)
and its rated horsepower.  i.e. Turbo-Thrift, Turbo-Fire, Turbo-Jet with crossed flags on big block 396 engines, etc.

I think if I remember correct most if not all the small block V8's were Turbo-Fire,
Big Blocks were Turbo-Jets, and the L6 was the Turbo Thrift but I'm not 100% sure.
