Any non-TA owners on here with the Oldsmobile engines? I'm talking 77 350 and 403 Olds and 78-79 403 Olds in Firebirds. Trying to locate an original sticker to complete a few reproductions I'm working on, in this case, the "Keep your GM car" etc aircleaner decals. Likewise, if you have found an application that no one reproduces, let me know. I've been compiling a list. What has become very clear on other forums is that even in restorations, guys don't care if decal is accurate, it just looks like a factory decal so works. It doesn't matter if the part number, codes, year version or even air filter call-out even match what is inside. But then, some do care.

I call it internet misinformation
You can’t beleive how many 68-69 Gto’s I see with Buick 400 stickers on the air cleaner

X2 every second ad shows the wrong photo with description. Sometimes it's simply using a stock photo for many, often it's not. I've corrected several only to hear that they checked with supplier A or B and confirmed it was correct, thanks anyway....
I get that many also won't care, but should be able to decide that themselves, not because they were sold an incorrect part.
For what it's worth, I was working on some artwork with restorations label guy, but looking at options to fill in as needed. Generally 76-81 era for this lot, olds-powered non-TA, W72 non-TA and a couple of common but ignored 301 versions, all not done by the usual crowd.
I had to put the project on hold while moving house, changing jobs and losing family members, but main delay was waiting for just one request from an owner to add to the list. So I've compiled it myself, only have to pass on the numbers and they are printed.
