1969 ZL1 Vette?

[muscle_collector]

got a question for the guys who know, why do I see some of the "L88" (put in quotation marks as probably more are fakes than real ones) have the emblem at the rear of the hood scoop instead of the front of it? which is correct? did all the originals say 427 or did any come with L88 call out?

The L88 emblem on the hood is an add on. Real L88 hoods had only the 427 numbers on them.

----Only L88 emblems from GM are decal style. As far as I know, and I bought a 1969 3000 mile original L88 Monaco orange convert from the original owner, there were no actual L88 callouts anywhere but on the console. New owners to the L88 family really want to announce their arrival. I guess the hood alone isn't enough for those guys. The 427 emblem is correct as SBR has stated.
