Which is the correct label for Early 69 AC Compressor?

[David D.]

I have an early 1969 427ci/400hp L68. Built October 21, 1968. I am finishing the restoration of the AC system and had to purchase a rebuilt compressor. It came with no label.

I see there are two labels available for the 1969. A green and black and a red and black. Which label would be correct for my car? and which direction should the label face?

My friends early production 69 (December 68) car has a green label dated the first week of December.
My July car also has a green label.

There were 2 green labels used in 69. On your early car (built 4 days before mine) the last 3 digits of the part number which is stamped on the label are "645". Later cars are"741". If you buy a repro label from Paragon, be sure to specify the earlier number. They list only 1 label for '69 which I believe is the later one. The '68 label is the "645".
