Default Berger underhood sticker

I found what looks like the remnants of old adhesive on the driver side fenderwell under the hood of a `69 Chevelle post sedan SS396.
I also recently bought a repo Berger Prescribed Power sticker.
It looks like the adhesive outline is about the same size as the repo sticker.

My question would be, did they put this sort of sticker under the hood of all their performance cars back in `69, or was that done to cars they "tuned"?

I believe the screw holes are from something that was added later on, and have nothing to do with the sticker.
This car has done time at the dragstrip, so probably many things changed and added over the years.

Rick, I will see if Matt knows anything about this. That is if he rolls through here today. Someone could have purchased one of these and put it there &quot;back in the day&quot;.

Thanks Kendall.
I suppose someone could have put one on after they bought the car originally, like you say, but I still wonder if Berger themselves did it to some cars and not others.

Rick, Matt just came through and I asked him about the sticker. He said that they didn't put any on the fenderwells that he knew of. When someone had a Hi-po part order they would throw in some stickers with the order. So that might be where that came from. He said that they usually put them on the air cleaners.

Hope this helps.

Kendall

Have only seen Prescribed Power decals on air cleaner lids of Berger cars, could the screw holes be for a tach sending unit ?
