So, judging by what I've seen from some pictures on the internet, I think:

1. Goes on the top of the rad support, in the middle?
2. Goes below the drivers side door strike?
3. Goes on the inner fender rear of the fender tag?
4. Goes on the front of the dual snorkel air cleaner?  Even if its wrinkle painted?  Will it stick on that stuff?
Any photos would be helpful

Thanks in advance

I think you are correct.  :alan2cents:

They often were installed crooked but IMO they look better applied nice and straight. Maybe just my OCD.   :) The first 2 are the ECS Auto white challenger, the last 2 are mine, one shows where the tire decal was on my car.

found one more of mine, you can just see where the antifreeze decal was on the rad support.

Mr Lee

Cool.  Thanks.
So on the white car, what is that sticker by my blue arrow?  Is that a different sticker than the green one that says 383?   And on your orange car, is yours in that same place (on the angled part of the inner fender)?  Hard to tell from the photo.  Ive seen them where my yellow arrow is if im not mistaken.
And granted, they probably landed in different places depending on who was putting them on that day.

Your list is correct except the air cleaner decal go's on the right side of the air cleaner body. I have also seen the antifreeze label covering or partially covering the VIN stamping on the radiator support. the tire pressure label, I have seen below the striker.   :alan2cents:

Where did you get your A/C hard and rubber lines?

They are typically where the blue arrow is in 1970 :alan2cents:

The white car is an early-built car, they changed the decals during the model year. But my decal was installed in the same location as the white car too. @Mrbill426, I wish the white engine compartment was mine but it belonged to the late Dave Walden of ECS Automotive, it is a very accurately restored car so I saved a lot of photos of it for reference material.  I would have to guess the a/c lines are NOS knowing the lengths he went to with this car. Really over the top.

Thanks.  Yes it looks damn sweet  :twothumbsup:

The yellow Radiator decal is exactly like my car had it positioned at.

We have owned the car since 1972.

FWIW - On my 70 RTSE with 383, the air filter housing sticker was between the two snorkels facing forward. I'm putting it on the DS now because I believe that is more correct. The tire pressure sticker should go below the striker. My rule of thumb is the bottom of the sticker is 6" below the centerline of the striker.  My antifreeze sticker is centered with the hood latch bracket. :alan2cents:
