They go on the sides of the hood cowl,however they were only installed on 1975 and up c-3s 1973 and 1974 only had big block ie.454 badges if so equipped.If you really want to install them anyway I am sure the 1975 aim would show exaclty where and they do add a cool little detail My 1975 was an L-82 and I liked the look of the badges there.Cheers.

I am not ashamed of 195hp.

My 74 started out as a 195 hp L48, and technically still is. The only thing from the original engine is the block.
Eagle racing crank
Scat rods
Comp cam
Holley street dominator intake
Holley 4150 street avenger 675 carb
65cc dart heads
Bored .030 over
10.5 - 1 compression pistons
1.6 ratio full roller rocker with stud girdles
I think it might be a bit more than the original 195hp

None. There are no decals on a 74. What you are calling decals are actually emblems. All 74s had Stingray fender script emblems. Big block cars had hood emblems.
The 74 assembly instruction manual (AIM) shows all the factory locations and how the emblems were applied. Most use push nuts and sealant.
...trying to decide where to install them and how to actually put them on? Any ideas on location and ways to install them

The L-48 emblems shown above are installed with Goop sealant/adhesive. They have not moved in several years.

MrJlr,
My latest adventure (a hardtop) is well documented. There are so many nay-sayers on these units it gives me nightmares. But I am determined to get it on safely for the months of April-May. I have all the parts and pieces to make it so. Then the convertible top for the summer. Should be fun in several weeks time.
