1963 Riviera Engine Decal Location

[MarlinBlue]

Hi. Can someone please provide a picture or two showing all of the correct engine decals and their correct location for a 63 Riviera with a/c?

The large “decal” on the air cleaner is either Riviera Wildcat 445 for the 401 cubic inch engine or Riviera Wildcat 465 for the 425 cubic inch engine. The silver and black Wildcat is correct for the snorkel and the snorkel in this picture is oriented correctly. The car in this picture does not have air conditioning but a/c equipped cars and non-a/c cars have a warning decal on the shroud.  This engine is the correct color silver for 1963, but the air cleaner itself is not the correct color. The correct color has more orange in the red and has a wrinkle finish to it.

 

The paint on the air cleaner in this picture is the correct color but the snorkel is not oriented correctly.

Thanks Chuck, I am anxious to see what you have done to your Riviera since I last saw you at Back to the Bricks.

The paint on the air cleaner should have a wrinkle finish.  The color has an orange tint to it. This picture shows the correct color but the snorkel is not oriented correctly.  The original lid was screen printed, it was not a decal.  Reproductions of the screen printed disc are available. 445  Wildcat for the 401 cubic inch engine, 465 Wildcat for the 425 cubic inch engine.  Whether your car has a/c or not, there is a warning decal that goes on the shroud.  The battery in this picture is connected correctly with the positive post closer to the radiator.
