Finished product. I printed it on Avery adhesive back paper decal material. This might have been what GM used in 1977. Life expectancy about 6 months.. LOL

Maybe a year in a controlled environment, lol. Looks like you did a nice job especially considering what you had to use for a reference.

I tweaked the dimensions of the decal, and it fits much closer to the factory photo:
I made a decal for my GTO: I am in the process of making a power steering pump code decal for it, since I found what was left of the original.

This inspection decal is still present on my 1973 Y6 code 2nd design emissions 4 speed 400 Grand Am:
These were easy to reproduce.

I'm all set with that decal..However, if you have a chance, could you please look at your master cylinder for the very small two letter code stamped on the foward machined boss where the brake line is threaded into. Thank you.

6 349 is the Julian date code (349th day of 1976, correct for a 1977 model). DD is the code that should be on the broadcast sheet.

Revisited this project. Many hours went into the size, and fonts. Perfected the process as these are laminated and adhesive backed:
Compare to the tattered original off my R89WP battery: And this service replacement Z89 battery:

With the good printers and label materials available today, it might be better to DIY some of these labels rather than have them commercially made and GM licensed.

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.
