72 Olds A-body oil fill decal red or black?
Inline Tube catalogue says:
"Although the assembly manual calls out a red decal, we have NEVER found a red decal on original cars, we have only seen black with 2 letter code and part numbers.”
Fusick catalogue says:
"decal has red lettering on a white background as original"

The lousy search functionality of the site didn't give me any good insight when I searched - so I posted this thread.
The site, however, did just now give me a "related post" at the bottom of this that seems to indicate that the correct answer is BLACK

Back before I found Inline Tube I found a guy named Ken Krause who researched and produced these oil tube decals. He had them for the various years and all the codes were verified. I used his product on my car and am really happy with it. Before that I had one of the red Fusick "correct" red ones that somehow always looked wrong.

So where can these be purchased now? I checked Inline Tube, and I only see engine compartment decal sets for $45, which is pretty pricey just to get that one decal.
Fusick's are red, so I don't want that.
Supercars Unlimited can't even get their descriptions for the years and options correct, and doesn't list the color.
Those are my 3 most reliable go-to sources, and it seems none of them have what I want. Does anybody have another source for these?
