I thought I recalled seeing "Acadian 327" valve cover decals. Seemed to me it was a car on this site but a search yielded nothing but the ones on that niftly 2 door post L79 car and those have the horsepower right on top. I am looking for Acadian 327 on top and 300 horsepower for down below that, sort of on the side of the cover.
Anyone?

I recall that. I think it was from a Calgary restoration of a red one. There was talk about how the decals could have been sourced somewhere else...

I had the ones for my 65 made (calgary) based on the old one that was on the valve cover and in poor shape. I just went to a printing company with a new pontiac one, and showed them the old one so they could do the Swaperoo on the computer and then print them off.. it was the same cost for them to make me over 20 sets as it was to make one set.. so..
hey Carl.. sorry for the poopy photo.. I'm in vancouver still and the other photos of the stickers alone are there. It says ACADIAN 327 ACADIAN
Now the engine I got for my Hard top was from a 65 SD (300 hp 327) I kept the sticker intact on the original "dimple" cover and took photos of it as well. Then purchased the PONTIAC 327 PONTIAC stickers as a sample for the printers.. they did up the artwork and got my approval.. the Font was a bit of a mystery, but they did a great job on it.
I did 20 or 22 sets of 283 and 20 or 22 sets of 327..

So you got them made up with Acadian top and bottom, or Pontiac top and bottom? I am not quite clear on that.
If they say Acadian top and bottom and you have 20 sets, can we talk???
Did you do the 300 horsepower as well, or just buy them from one of the repro places?
Off to bed but I will talk to you more about this, thanks.

the car also had the red econo flame air cleaner decal but it was to far gone to scan so i dont have that one , this car had the valve covers with the rectangle area in the middle for the decal and the long indent along the top, painted orange tins
An old thread that has come to life! I was also trying to pin down the American Chevelle guys with the same '66 VCD and ACD question re the 327. The response seemed to be inconclusive...

My thought re the '66 327... -With the indented VC's that have a flat rectangular area, it is rather evident that they had VCD's. -Cheetah427 remembers, and had a copy of the '66 327 VCD's (which are also consistent to the appearance of Jack B's '66 283 VCD's) As a result, unless other evidence becomes available, I'm with Cheetah427 in believing his recolection of the VCD's (shown earlier in this thread) is correct.
Re the ACD's... -I would question as to whether or not GM would use decals on both the VC and AC, as these were somewhat of an entry level car? -If they did use both, wouldn't the decals at least look the same? (Either in font or colors?)
As a result, I'm thinking the '66 327 had VCD's and no ACD, while the '67 had an ACD and no VCD's. (Which to your point Carl, sounds like it "ends up being a matter of choice".)
