Decal mystery
Were any of the pictured decals used in 1970, and, if so, where were they placed. I bought these years ago and just found them in my desk.
I also have a decal that seems to relate to an additive to windshield fluid and radiator fluid when the temps drop. I 'll try to get that pic tomorrow. |

That coded air cleaner decal was not used in '70.

On the top of the core support in front of the radiator fill. From what I can tell, they were intermittently applied. It might depended on the factory.
I believe the regular fuel decal was on low perf engines in big cars, but I've never seen an original in the wild.

the "regular fuel engine" decal was on the lower compression 1970 engines:
eg: 350/2bbl & 400/2bbl

On the blue door jamb "MFD BY GENERAL MOTORS CORP" sticker the VIN and date are typed onto the bottom. What date should be shown there? Date of manufacture?

I believe there was some differentiation by model year and plant of manufacture.
I believe that the date typed in the upper right corner would be the month & year it came off the assembly line.

The regular fuel decal appears to be yet another incorrect reproduction. The original has rounded corners.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
