Are you talk'n about the Canadian engine oil recomendation label?...I see Jim Osborn reproduces them here.

I've always been told there was two different ones. My memory is getting foggy, and I can't remember ( <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif) if the break was between 69 and 70, or 70 and 71. I do remember I had to get a different one to put on my 71 RS Z28!
Hope I did not confuse you too much more....................

I've seen 3 different label/designs,and their usually placed upside down.I actually flipped my picture to show it better.
1966-67 issued #733639~Osborn #DC0982
1968-69 issued #734791~Osborn #DC0414
1970-71 issued #3406985~Osborn #DC0972
Granted there is overlap,as this '70 Chevelle was wearing what some consider a &quot;69&quot; label.

You might check with Don Lightfoot. He's been getting some more accurate decals made up. http://www.angelfire.com/rock/69ss/index.html

Yes that is what i need. Thanks for the links. By upside down, do you mean readable from outside of car, and not readable from the engine compartment. Has anyone seen enough examples to be sure they were installed upside down? There was a 67 z at chicago show that had the sticker readable in the engine compartment. Roger

Roger,
Sorry about my blurred memory. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif
I just looked at some old photos and it is stuck on the upper plastic fender on the passenger side with the sticker reading normal not upside down (just over the heater hoses).
Not sure though if the same set up was supplied for the camaro as mine was a chevelle.

I would not think there would be different stickers for different cars, just for engine oil. Did the canadian cars get these stickers because of the harsh cold winter? Roger

Different cars, did not get different stickers. It was a year thing. It was used to believed it was only a solid lifter thing, but others came as well. My small block 2 barrel 1972 Monte still has the original one on it. Sticker goes on which ever side your oil fill up is on.

The picture I posted was from an Oshawa built 70 Chevelle with an L-34 as well.
It was applied on the passenger plastic inner fender,&amp; legible if you opened the hood and were standing over the drivers fender to read left to right.
To get a close up picture,I snapped it standing over the passenger side fender,then flipped it here to read,is what I meant.
