I am sure there is, however I have never see it. The way the badge and grille are, you can put them almost wherever you wish; that said I am sure you want it to look factory, you need a resto guy for that. I centered mine on the grille and spaced slightly from the left side (as if you were sitting in the car). I looked at a lot of factory/period pictures and took a shot.

I have some books about E-Bodies. Most of them show it like this:


The emblems have studs, so just measure the squares on where to exactly put them.

How do these fit on, are they just studs and nuts on the back?  I ordered a repop one online and its just got pointed ends on the back.  They aren't threaded and there's no fasteners or anything

Like Challenger HK said, these, just a little wider, although they will work...

Did a bit of research online a while back when I was looking for the same answer.  Found there was nothing really consistent.  I ended up doing mine like one photo I found to be from a "correctly restored" R/T Challenger.  I've attached a photo of my emblem placement.  It's centered, and looks to be the proper distance from the edge of the hoop.
