The 69 and 68 "396" emblems are completely different. The #s on the 69 emblems are more square compared to the more rectangular 68 emblems.

should the prongs be offset or even to each other.. the ones i got have two prong straight across from each other? and the emblems are straight theyre not rounded like the fender

The prongs are in different locations, the emblems are usually sold as 'left hand' and 'right hand', but you can of course redrill the fender holes so emblems intended for one side can work on the other.

As you tighten down on the emblem it will match the contour of the fender. I would recommend going slow with it..

The Z/28 emblems also require a different Hole pattern. What fenders are on your car ? What emblems were on your car, when you started ?
