Correct valve cover decal?
I've searched a lot but can't find a definitive answer...
What's the correct valve cover decal for a 1972, Flint built Chevy C10 with a 350V8 ? Is it the Tonawanda? Something else? None? Help please.

Re: Correct valve cover decal?
The only standard valve cover sticker I am aware of for a 72 350 is the emissions cert. I've only seen Tonawanda stickers on big blocks, but that's just from memory, someone may have a small block with one.

After more endless searching it seems that the Tonawanda decals came on big blocks, and the 'aluminum foil' stamped Engine Emiisons Cert decal came on 3/4 ton and up trucks. So it would appear mine shouldn't have anything... It looks naked, but I am trying to keep her as original as possible.

Re: Correct valve cover decal?
In regards to the Tonawanda decal, it came on small blocks as well, at least in regards to the Camaro and other passenger cars, most common on high performance small blocks like the L79 and 302. There is also a similar decal that looks like the Tonawanda decal but its for the Flint engine plant. I know on 67 Camaro's the Flint decal was attached at the front end of the passenger side valve cover. On small blocks though the decal usage falls off really after 1968. In 69 on Z/28's and Corvettes they went to the finned valve covers and didnt seem to place the decals on them.
