Re: original engine

[george smith <bt6t4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Normally it was a metal emblem on the front fenders in
front of the wheel wells. I don't ever recall seeing
any decal on the quarters saying that. Did you look at
the ID stamp on the boss below the distributor for the
engine size. I think "Commando" was the 383 and
"Golden Commando" was the 361.
