Hello everyone, so I have researched this topic for awhile now and can't seem to locate an answer. Is there a diagram or some sort of guide that shows decal (tire pressure, etc.) placement for my 1971 SB?

I am thinking about getting one of these Wolfsburg West kits:

Any help is appreciated.

Mine doesn’t have a decal anywhere.

It goes on the inside of the glove box door. Open the glovebox door and it the sticker obviously faces you. Here is one from the classifieds.

I think it's not so very difficult.

- The 12Volt sticker goes to the driver side a-pillar below the dome light switch.
- The sticker for the washer bottle goes onto the washer bottle (upper half of the bottle so that it is in good visibility when the bottle is mounted).
- The sticker for the octane rating goes to the inside of the gas flap.
- The sticker for the valve lash goes to the fan shroud (near the right upper screw for the alternator) to close a hole there.
- The sticker for the tire pressure goes to the inside of the glove box lid (left of the lock).

Wait for someone to verify this information.

The hole in the fan shroud you refer to using the valve clearance adjustment decal to cover is actually used to hold a clip to secure the inline fuse holder for the backup light circuit. Cool

Speaking of stickers...was the 12 Volt sticker used right through 1979? I don't remember seeing them on the mid 70s cars. I have one to install on my '75 and would love to know if it was there from the factory.

I'm a bit disappointed that no one suggested that the OP stick them up his ass. Nothing personal, just a great opportunity to lower the tone...
