Engine emission control information labels are affixed to the radiator-support panel and provide specifics on some tune-up information such as ignition timing & dwell and idle RPM for a given engine/transmission application.

If you have a build sheet for your Chevelle, the label is coded in box 104 like this Kansas City assembly plant with the L34 engine and manual transmission,

Caveat:
Starting dates and through dates are based on legitimate build sheet data I have - current as of 09/03/2023. There is typically a larger spread of dates on non-SS Chevelles since build sheet data are harder to come by. If you have any data to provide, please use my Contact link.
