Default Question for the experts - Console engine data plate

Question - why doesnt my '70 console show the size and horse power of the motor?
Obviously it's a 350 and most likely 300hp, wish it was the LT motor! [one day, maybe]



If I bought this, how would I attach it? Epoxy? Might look cheezy.

Somebody worked with lacquer thinner or something to remove the data from your piece. You need to slide a thin blade under that and pry it off. Buy a new one—it is made with an adhesive backing.

by the looks of the flag it's just worn off
The new ones have a little double sided tape on the back, just peel yours off and wipe with some alcohol and stick the new one on.
You can get the correct one for your car at all the normal vendors or even a blank one (or re-paint your flags and use yours) and make a new data sticker to match

Order the eng. data plate for the LT1 and that can be the start of your quest for MORE POWER ,,,,

I believe stickers and emblems add 10 to 20 hp,,,, (( so I was told ))
