tune-up instructions decal

Hi Guys.

I'm still in the process of restoring my 1970 dodge challenger deputy, and I've arrived at the detailing part of the car.
When looking through some old pics, I noticed a sticker that was on the passenger side inner fender. Unfortunately i don't have clear pics of the decal, because There weren't any digital camera's when I was disassembling my ride.
I do however copied the text on the sticker before I had everything blasted. It says the following:

Performance Car Graphics sells a lot of stickers like that.  Check out their site and see if they make that one.  They have pictures of all the stickers they sell.  Also, I know ECS Automotive has been coming out with a lot of stickers.  They sell kits with all the sticker for the car in it.  Check them out too.

Thanks.

I allready looked at the ECS site, since they've helped me in the past with the VIN decal that goes in the door. But I didn't find any info on this particular sticker. I mailed PCG for some info, so maybe I'll get lucky.
It seems though, that it's a sticker from some system, not made by Chrysler, to enhance the emissions of the engine. Does anybody have an idea what this Kar Kit system could be?

The kar kit is an aftermarket smog control device - it wasn't stock. They were installed when you had your car smogged. Personally, I wouldn't put it back on unless you are going for a "period" restoration - plus it makes your car drive horribly since you retard the inital timing and disable the vacuum advance.

Ok thanks for the info.
I wasn't planning on installing this Kar-kit device. It wasn't on th ecar when I bought it, just the decal, and I wondered what it meant.

Thanks,
