I'll go out on a limb here, and say I "THINK" they belong on the vertical surface...on the back of the passenger's side valve cover. Chuck

C'mon Chuck -- you are being modest. That is exactly where it goes. From the 66 JM -- " an engine code identification sticker is located on the rear end of the right side valve cover "

Nah...not being modest, but I don't have a 66 JG. Most I've seen go there. Here's another thought......individual letters, i.e. "L" and "M" each individually glued there, or a single label "LM"? Thoughts? Chuck

66's had a single label with two letters on it; doesn't show up in the A.I.M., as it was part of the engine as received from the engine plant. :thumbs:

LICS has the correct ones for midyears - I believe the "separate-letter" types started with some C3's, although that's still up for grabs according to some C3 folks. :thumbs:
