It looks like your gauge cluster lens could use a good polishing to really make it pop.

What does one use to polish the plastic on the gauge cluster?

Update, was able to get the air cleaner installed last night with an updated label along with a new pcv and hose.

Nice photo, is the red one an SS since it has resonators on the exhaust or did the 402 have them also?

Thanks everyone and as you can see I will have some extras.

Fortunately I was able to acquire an original SS air cleaner recently from Jared (thanks!) and in the process of restoring it I was able to remove the original 'CN' decal off of it fairly easy.  After some research I was not able to locate this decal anywhere so I decided to try and duplicate it.  I scanned the image into the computer and, pixel by pixel, cleaned up the image to my satisfaction  I then acquired some waterproof labels and printed them out via a laser color printer.  From here using a straight edge and a razor blade I cut them out and they are shown below.  As you can see there are some light spots due to the laser printer but oh well.  I also included a shot of the build sheet showing the 'CN' in the Air Cleaner box which I believe is specific to the LS5 in the 70 SS Monte Carlos.  I am not sure about the 71 SS or 72 Montes.  Hopefully this helps some understand what those two characters mean when looking at those decals as I had to dig around to figure that out myself.

Was able to get the car out and get it cleaned up along with my father in-laws 72.  Thanks again Dennis!
