Decal and Air cleaner Question

[Untamed]

Year One, Phoenix Graphix, and others have decal kits that include lettering denoting things like 5.0 FI, or HO, or 5.7... and so on. My TA has all the original paint and decals on it still, but does not include the small lettering that Year One has to go on the fender ground effects, just in front of the doors.

Were these decals stock decals put on later-year models? (ie. early 88's might not have them, but later 88's produced have them.)

I like decals, but they seem excessive. I'm going for a stock look, so just need to know if they *should* be added.

Secondly, some air cleaners denote 5.0, and others just say Fuel Injected in the same red lettering. Was the 5.0 designation only for carbbed engines, and the Fuel Injected for TBI? Or are there 5.0 - type indicators out there for TBI?

When I was shopping for a dual snorkel for my '86 LG4 I found most of them had "5.0 HO" or "5.7 HO". I did not see any air cleaners that had FI on them.

My Pro/Am's stock aircleaner lid has red lettering saying "Fuel Injection" ... I went to a junkyard to look for a dual snorkel assembly off a pickup truck, but no luck :-/

why would u want people to know that u have a 305 ?

I didn't look at the decals as an advertisement, but rather staying true to the stock look of the car. I don't recall seeing any of those things on production vehicles, so just wanted to make sure.

I'll have to think about those. I'd rather remain stock.

So you can look them in the eye and say "I know my car is slower than yours and I don't give a damn" :)


As for the air cleaners, my TBI had no FI decals on it and it was bone stock when I bought it.
