Yellow?

There were 2 wax blobs.
Yellow showed where to put it but different colors were used to denote how much weight was used.

Correct on the yellow. They used a red and a green to denote the amount, or any combination (2 red, 2 green, 1 of each). Don't recall what meant what.

Olds put all weights on the outside of the wheel, dealers were instructed to shift weight slightly (or move to inside) if interference with trim ring/wheel cover clips. These were put in the trunk and installed at the dealer. 3 oz was the max weight allowed in repair area, 2 oz in the automatic balancer in line.

Not sure if this was same at Chev and other divs, but guess that it was or very close.
