Three of us (BeepBeep, Snoopy & myself) had a conference call a couple night ago about the stickers. We all have different revisions of the 1970 parts book, I have three versions of the 1970 Collision parts book & Snoopy has a copy of the superceded part numbers book. We dug deep & checked every book we could think of that we had access too. The result is that none of us could find a mention of the sticker or a part number for it in the books we have. Can anyone else find it mentioned in any source? If so, it would be very cool to see.

Hey Dwight does your A66 have the V-8 emblems on the fenders ? It seems the early cars that got the rallye hood and no call outs and some that had the decal had the V-8 on fenders ? and later cars with 340 emblems on rallye hood had no V-8 on fenders ? What color grille ?
It has a silver grille and the V 8 emblems. No stick ons on the hood.
Barry, I have every change up editon of the 70 parts book that there is. I will take a look through all of them for clues.

My former early Dec built 1970 challenger 340 had metal pin on nameplates - hood was still original paint when I bought the car. I've still got one of the nameplates on my toolbox as a momento

Bill Was the name plate only on the drivers side? The reason I ask, is because the 70-71 parts book only lists 1 required.
I think it was a slip in the parts book... same two pin nameplate used on both left and right side, 3443246 cast on the backside...3 pin shaker is 3577361 cast on backside, same one for both sides of the shaker scoop

I'm by no means an E-body expert, but the '70 Chally that's burned into my memory - I was trying to figure out how to buy it off the Dodge dealer's lot in Van Nuys, CA - was a light green 340, dual-scoop hood with 340Fourbarrel nameplates, no V8 badges, Bee decals in the quarter windows, E60-15s on Rallyes, no wheel-opening mldgs. I was struck by how it appeared to be a detrimmed R/T with a small-block, why it wasn't an R/T, and the detail differences. I'm thinking it was soon after the Chally came out, just turning to fall, and I hadn't seen a T/A yet. I'm not as positive about the grille color, though.
