Valve Cover Question

[Rob M.]

Question regarding horsepower label on a '66 327/300 valve cover:

Sticker or Decal?

I've read the archives and found a post that stated (at least for a FI '65) correct would be water based decal. Were there decals some years and stickers for others?

One of my stickers is peeling up and needs replacement and I would like to do it right.

Thanks (sorry for the mundane question)

The new '66 JG describes the item that goes in the top center area of the valve cover as a "label", which has an adhesive backing with a peel-off liner. The separate "300 Horsepower" item used on the side of the valve cover on very early engines is described as a "decal", which was water-soluble (like the ones used on optional engines with aluminum valve covers).

To confuse things, the Assembly Manual shows the item for the top center of the valve cover as a "decal", but the illustration shows one corner turned up, which indicates that it has an adhesive backing.

John,

Thanks for the response. It sounds like a sticker it is . . . any suggestions on supplier? LIC I assume sells them.

Again, thanks

Paragon has them as their #8198K; I'm sure LICS has them too.
