Default LT-1 versus LT1

I was talking to a friend of mine the other night and he says that LT-1 designates the 1970s LT-1 engine and the LT1 (without the dash) is the correct designation for 1990s version. Is this a big deal or not? I was going to order a decal for my 1992, but it said LT-1. I want to be correct and not look like an idiot. Thanks :confused:

I've gotten tired of correcting folks here on the forum for posting the LT-1 when referring to their later engine. So I don't do it any longer.

Your friend is correct. :grouphug:
