Subject: Initial Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Replacement Decal Index for 1990-Model Year Vehicles
Attached is the initial index for 1990-model year Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) replacement decals. This index will assist you in the selection and ordering of replacement decals when required.
The replacement VECI decal program was first announced in November 1980, and was establislied to accommodate customer and dealership requests for replacement VECI decals. Because these decals provide a readily available source for engine tune-up specifications, Ford Motor Company will provide the decals for each model year beginning with 1980-model year vehicles. Decals are not available for vehicles prior to the 1980-model.
The attached index is for 1990-model year vehicles only. Indexes for 1980 through 1989-model year vehicles were previously distributed. Please contact your Ford Parts and Service Division District Office if you require a copy of any of these indexes.
Where To File This Index
Car and Truck Engine/Emissions Facts Booklet Summary (Basic Form 12096) is published annually to provide engine tune-up specifications. Since the material in that booklet is closely related to the information provided in the attached index, please file the index with the 1990-model year booklet for reference purposes.
