I like Ecklers for this because their search feature works quite well for finding them just by searching for "Decal" and the year of your car.

Thanks, I looked at Ecklers but they did not have what I needed. There was a post a long time ago about a site but I cant find it. Im looking for the door stickers and the little tag on the brake booster.
Thanks LT

I have ordered my engine decals from Ecklers, Corvette Central and Mid America. Each of them had what I needed at the time. I usually ordered them when I needed to order other parts to save any shipping costs.

Hi 1NC,
Could you make something like this? I call it a 'sticker' not a decal. The back ground is more yellow/orange than the scan shows and has to be sticky on the back.
Regards,
Alan

do you have pics? is it the same as above? i just got done making the YC bail decals or whatever the intials are for my 79. the unleaded fuel only, the yellow fan caution, the air cleaner keep your vehicle GM etc. pretty much if i can remake it i find a better sense of accomplishment then just buying it. plus i "weather" or 'wear" the decals after they are produced so that they fit in and dont look new on a 30 year old car.

Hi Frog,
The engine 'suffix label' was on the rear end of the passenger side valve cover.
Most got blown off the first time the engine bay was cleaned at the carwash.

Alan

Hi 1NC,
Can you duplicate the font?
It seems like it's easy to get it close but not exact.
Regards,
Alan

Hi 1NC,
I'd do a little research on just what color the back ground shoud be. Mines a little faded, but does have more color than that scan shows.
Regards,
Alan
