Just a little more info would be helpful, Is your car a small block or a big block? does it have air conditioning, power steering? what other options?
I can give you the info from my blue label, but it only apply's to my car with the few options I have.
Regards
Roy

...I'm not sure if this is 100% right, but I believe it has to do with what options your car has(non A/C car would be a fair amount lighter than an A/C car), automatic vs 4spd, coupe vs convertible, bigblock vs smallblock, etc.


...this is from my '74 350ci L-48, automatic, non A/C, coupe, manual windows, leather interior.

Hi John,
I'm curious what you're going to use to type the information?
I ask only because I've read what a difficult time people have had finding a type-writer, much less one with the right style font.
Other people might be interested in knowing what you've found.
Regards,
Alan

AH.... I just thought, perhaps the people you're buying the label from enter the information?

Hi Alan 71
Well I tend to be a pack rat of old things and I have a typewriter from the 70's/ 80's that I had in the garage and it appears that it is of the correct style font.
My problem probable won't be the typewriter it will be the operator I am a one finger at a time typist and a $10 bucks a label I can't afford too many mistakes.
There use to a guy on e bay that sold the label and typed the info for your car for $30 Bucks he claimed that he had an old typewriter to match the correct font
Regards John

Hi John,
Thanks for the up-date!
When you're finished a picture would be great. I always appreciate the effort people put out to do it themselves when there's no easy answer!
Regards,
Alan

I was trying to find a way to determine all the correct weights and other info, for the blue tag, myself, for my 73. I was wondering if there is any info somewhere, to calculate the amounts. Or maybe we have to find someone with the exact same car, with the exact same options. Who knows?

I had the same problem with my 72. I wasn't able to find a book with the info, so the next best thing was to get as close as possible with the help of other 72 owners on this Forum. There a lot of great folks on this Forum willing to help.
You need post all the options your car has and maybe somewhere out there can get close.
Good luck John
