Under hood labels


How about this memory tester.

there appear to be three labels under the hood on the top of the rad support On my Canso. Picture below

 The first one I think is the battery connection one. Picture below

what are/were the other two?

are they available anywhere?

As you guessed, first is battery, the next one is about the coolant and I'm guessing the third one might not be a GM sticker but maybe an oil change sticker.

Beaumontguru on this site has the first two decals available, he reproduced them.

Yes i have the coolant and battery decals available.  And they are correctly reproduced for canadian cars  (unlike the horribly inaccurate repro in your second pic ha ha!)

The one on the far left is the battery one  (i have it)

the center one is the cooling system (i have it)

The one on the right is a mystery to me,  i have not seen one like that,  perhaps someone with an original canso might know.

message me and i can get you a price shipped for the decals,  yoiu can also search me on this site for my decals,  i have lots or correct reproductions available.

Obviously the USA coolant decal George?

I wonder if the old decal could just be an old oil change service tag?  So far no evidence of 3 decals on the support on line.

Looks like this one. I see important on the faded one, the rounded corners and the border.

Sorry, I thought you knew the middle decal was the Canadian coolant instruction. Dave has those, and they are really nice.

Thought it was just the right one unknown.

Ya, that far Right one is a mystery,  i could be a oil change, but the one i have is a bit taller.  and usually oil change ones are on the fenders

Mike,  I also have these ones that you might want for the car?  depending on if you are running a stock air cleaner and a washer bottle.

 As far as the third one Mark and I are suggesting an oil change sticker that a repair shop has stuck on for when the change was done/next one is due. We sure don't see those any more. Everyone seems to use the cling style on the inside of the windshield.

Interesting. I just saw a picture on a Facebook group that shows the underhood of a 66 Canadian Caprice. It has the US style oil change decal, not the Canadian style decal. I wonder if Pontiac and Chevrolet didn't use the same decal?

 The car is clearly not a US car because it has the Canadian style harness running over top of the rad cradle vs the US style that runs at the bottom of the cradle. 20,000 mile original car.

 I take back my statement. I think they are the same decal after all. I cropped the pic of the Caprice decal, blew it up, flipped the image over and now it appears to be the same as the Pontiac decal. Carry on, ignore my question!

One thing I do know is that the 3rd decal isn't one of these cursed things:

os-df0031_9861.jpg

 

Tell that to every Camaro & Chevelle restoration parts business that sells the above decal, which I found on a Mustang restoration parts site.

I agree that the far right decal is likely a service shop's oil change(?; maybe a coolant mixture) decal;
To me there are two clues:
1) looks to have been a paper sticker - which is much lower quality versus the GM decals
2) sloppy/ripped application - there IS sloppy work, but I cannot believe that an assembly line applied decal would pass a visual inspection - it would have been repaired/replaced prior to the car being shipped.

The third label. Looks like a tune up label similar to what was on my 69. When did that label come into use?
