I think this is what you need.....just find a good side view pic and get the
proper location, I'm sure there is no exact science to where they go, as
long as they are close.

> Hello Folks,

> located on the front fenders just in front of the wheels (I know you
> know where the emblem is).  I notice that some Taurus have the emblem

> smaller engine, thus no need for the 24V DOHC emblem, right?
> My question is this:  Was there any cold hard rule of thumb for when the
