I need the hole locations (dimensions) for the V8 emblem on SB Challengers. The 70 fenders I used didn't have the holes. thanks Chris
I checked my documents and did not see an engineering drawing for it. I'll look to see if any of my spare fenders have them, but I don't think they do.
I'm not sure if this will help you, but worth a shot. I realize your looking for exact dimensional location on the fender, instead of an eyeball guess. But I searched my info and could'nt locate anything except pics. Hope maybe someway it might help you. Thanks Al
Here's another

Ok, this information is from my 1970-71 passenger car factory illustrated parts catalogue supplement, for all Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler cars. Dated May-Sept. 1970 catalogue # 81-690-0897.
One more,
Nice photos Al. Better then I could find. :clapping:
Thanks Cody, but I'm not even sure if my references will help. What is needed is exact factory reference points and measurements. I'm hoping with what I could find with close-up shots it would give him next to an exact location indication. I do have many factory and non-factory reference books and manuals, Motors,Haynes, Chilton and factory material. Thanks, Al
Emblem placement is different for different years.
The V8 emblem is not located in the same place as the R/T emblem.
The R/T emblem is centered under the Challenger script, while the V8 emblem is pretty much even with the rear most end of the Challenger script. (under the C on the passenger side, and under the R on the driver's side)
To start off with, here's some pics of the R/T emblem placement.
Now here's some pics of the V8 emblem.
(If you see an R/T emblem in this position, you're probably looking at a clone car that needed to cover up the V8 fender holes.)
I have measurements for this somewhere. I think it's on a template stored somewhere, not on my computer. Sorry, they're not handy at the moment. I hope this helps anyway.
Cars been gone for more than a year so I can't measure for you. These are the original A-66 fenders though with the original mounting holes.
Thanks guys, the pictures will help a lot. What I will do is take pictures of my Challenger emblems with a ruler to establish the scale. Then I will be able to scale my picture so that the Challenger emblem is the same size as the pictures you guys supplied. Once that is done it is a matter of printing out the pictured to the correct 1:1 scale and use it as a template for placing the emblems. When I'm all done, I'll take some measurements of the holes and post it on the hole location thread.
thanks
Chris
Pretty simple to eye-ball it based on all the above pictures. No one will know if you're 1/8" off :alan2cents:
I guess I'm picky, but with my luck I will park my car next to another one that has the V8 emblems and they won't match. Perhaps my pickiness is for nothing. Here is a factory original example of R/T emblem placement on a 71 that was on the Hemming's website.

Exactly...so the guy you park beside might be wrong not you !
My car has the V-8 on it also, I can measure mine Saturday if you can wait. I have not installed mine yet.

thanks I can wait. I still have a bunch of things I need to do before installing emblems.
thanks

Yah it's factory original. here's the article. (sorry I thought it was Hemming's, it's actually HotRod)
http://www.hotrod.com/articles/1971-dodge-challenger-mondays-child/
the car had 1970 front seats, one of the tail moldings are from 1970 the other is from 1971. there are a few other 1970 parts on this 71.
Most of that article is BS....The "70 seats" were used half way through the 1971 model year, that's pretty common knowledge....if the vinyl pattern was 70, then I could see it, but they only mention the seat backs and release buttons. The tail light housings won't interchange, etc...etc... :thumbdown:
I looked for the original post but couldn't find it. The picture is of the drivers side. I need to drill the passenger side. Hope this helps.
that help a lot. thank you. -Chris

Let me clarify, the 6-3/4" and 4-3/4" is from the edge of the fender, the 2-1/2" is from the fender line.

I thought that was pretty clear.... :bradsthumb:
UPDATE: Here's my fenders with the V-8 Emblems installed. I used 4-3/4" and 6-3/4"-ish from the edge of the fender and 2-1/2" from the fender line on both sides of the car. The repo emblems have the pins on 2-1/16" centers so the 6-3/4"dimension is more like 6-13/16" for me. Looks pretty correct based on pictures of other cars I've seen with the V-8 emblems. Thanks for the help. -Chris
Looks perfect to me! :twothumbsup:
I agree, that looks great.
That looks good
