73 Barracuda underhood decal placements?
« on: May 27, 2015 - 11:08:03 PM »
Trying to find a picture of an unrestored 73 Barracuda to find out where the emissions decal was located from the factory.  Also looking for any other detail items like the air cleaner decal, A/C compressor decal/labels, coolant labels and if the brake boosters had any decal?   Last.  I am looking for any 73 Barracuda inspection marks on unrestored cars.  PLEASE.. :thumbsup:

ONLY put back inspection marks you find on YOUR car.  Just because another 73 had a mark, doesn't mean yours did too. :2cents:

What coolant sticker did your car come with?  My October 72 built Challenger came with the "white" sticker.  Most places show the "yellow" sticker as being correct for 73.

Don't pay attention to the placement of the booster decal.  I put it on wrong and needs to be corrected.(it should be horizontal...not at an angle)

My project is a very loosely based "original" rebuild.  The car was missing the motor and transmission.  I had no intentions of putting any inspection marks back on.  However now that the shop is putting inspection marks on, I would like to gather as much info as I can. 

Trying to make it look somewhat original without making it 100% correct.  The 360 is painted and dressed like the 318 would have been.  The air cleaner will be black without a CID decal so it will look like 318 should have from the factory. Although a quick glance would reveal the 4bbl, not a 2bbl.  Also we went with 340 manifolds since I had those.  So the car will never be a show judged car.

There is an air filter decal on the side of the air cleaner if you want to go that far.  I believe I bought mine from Performance Car Graphics.

I plan to do the brake booster decal, the emissions for 318 (which I see yours is on the pass side?), air cleaner, coolant on the core support, A/C compressor and the coolant reserve bottle decals.   

When I got my car the only decals (or residue of decals) that I could see were the core support coolant decal and the brake booster decal.  I could not see what the decal on the booster looked like, only that there was a decal on it at one time.  The core support decal was still in decent condition so I know what I am looking for on it.  :thumbsup:

The coolant reserve bottle wasn't available on 73's.  The parts books list it for 73 and 74 but I believe that's a typo.  I think they were only available in 74.
