Just measured every pair of these I have... all are the same, and measure just under 4" from one inner edge of the recess to the other. The letters on the larger emblems are nocitibly bigger than the smaller ones... no question there are 2 different sizes of emblems, and they are both pictured below, WITH tape measure for verification...

-I just said I saw valve covers with a different size slot---maybe they were made in Taiwan

Here's both sizes, side by side... you can see that the MOTION wording on one emblem is obviously bigger than the other.

I have both types of valve covers also and the ones with the large cut emblems are 3 and 7/8" x 1". The covers with the cut emblems are from 1970.

I have 3 pairs of these things, 2 with the uncut emblems and 1 with the cut emblems, all 3 pairs are/were chromed, not polished, size of the emblems seem to differ. SULLY

OK I just measured my origional hood emblems that came on my 70 BM Vette and they are 4 1/2" long.
Perhaps Joel made up some that were shorter so they would fit into the valve cover centers???? I feel postive that the ones off my hood were the original ones. I removed them to keep them from weathering when I had to keep it out in the back yard for a year or three. Pantera
