I'm with you there! I do not restore our cars using the 80% percentile but rather how we find them and again, assuming that is original to the assembly. I got docked points at a major car show for having the tune up and cooling decal in the "wrong" location on Mark Prunesti's car so I quickly presented a photo of the original radiator top plate and won my case. This is the first and only time I have ever seen a 70 Chevelle like this but that is the way it was done at the factory so that is the way it was restored. If not, I just lost that part of the history of that car and its roots.
