The one that said conv 390 to 400 was a know original. The one that said triple 2 bbl is the one in question. I’ve never seen that before and seems like odd verbiage for Gm to use....
Thanks for the input

----Not that Google pictures is any authority but I just looked at every tank sticker I could and saw 7 400hp t-stickers. All seven were 390 to 400 style! Triple two bbl carb just ain't getting it. Ill go out on a limb and say never!!!......Bill

Default 67 Tank Sticker Verbiage

As far as the language goes, the triple 2 BBL Carb is correct. It was used on early 1967 L68 cars up until approx. Oct/Nov 1966, then changed to 390 to 400.
I just attended an Al Grenning class a few months ago and this subject with examples was brought up. I have both variations in my database.
As far as whether the tank sticker is original or not, that's a different story, however this language in itself does not effect it's authenticity.

Default Corvette tank stickers

I agree. FWIW, I remember the change in wording was around Vin # 2850 in late October of 1966.
