Do you have a red/white decal on the driver's side valve cover ?

His decals should be brown text on white background for 49 state emissions.

All '79 decals were on the hood. All of my '79s are.
Original hood? Original engine? Original valve covers?

The calibration code is there for factory records for settings like idle RPM, static timing, crub idle, kickdown, etc.

You guys are talking about this engine sticker.
Not the calibration label
Calibrations label.
It actually identifies the engine in question and gives info for Vacuum hose routing & engine specs.
