I'm needing the spacing for the oldsmobile letter to drill holes. I don't have my old trunk lid anymore and would really like to have these on the trunk.

 

If no one gets to this earlier, I will take some measurements tonight but it will be later.

One other thought if you shoot me a pm with your address I will make a template with measurements and mail it to you. It would be this weekend before I could do that though.

Another thing you might consider, is no drilling at all, as most cars from the late 70's on, have been doing this with double faced tape. Many just whack off the original emblem pins with a Dremel cut off wheel, and use 3M emblem tape. If you currently have no holes drilled, what I'd do, as can always move them around later.
