Default 64 fender emblem placement?

I have to say that the members here are awesome!! Had it not been for the enormous wealth of knowledge and willingness to share it, I'm certain our restoration project would not be half of what it is today! You guys are great!

The latest in my barrage of questions is about the fender emblems for a 64 365 hp car. Does anyone have measurements for the proper placement of these? We don't know the history of our car, but it is apparent that at some point it was hit front and rear. The rear was patched up, but the fiberglass in the front was replaced. When that was done, the emblems were omitted. We'd like to put them on, and want to get them in the right spot. So here I go again; can anyone help?

As always, thank you so much for any assistance!

'64 flags are approx. 1 inch further forward from the door margin than '63 flags. If you have fuel injection, the flags are in the same location as the '63 flags.

In both cases, the right hand flag is slightly forward of the left hand flag.

You can take this to the bank.

This is the link I had posted. I had thought 63/64 were the same but Mike clarified they were not. Hence my deletion.

Anyway, the data on the link combined with Mike's comment should get you where you need to be.

On a '64 model w/o FI, the left emblem should be approximately 16" forward of the door margin on the left side. Right side should be approximately 16 1/8" forward of the door margin.
