What does "Turbo Jet" mean on gen1 Camaros?
Was wondering what the Turbo Jet means, if anything, on Gen1 Camaros? I noticed you can buy badges for BB Camaros with and without the turbo jet tag. Can't seem to find anything on google to explain it.

From what I under stand, it was a "marketing" thing.
6 cylinders were called "turbo-thrift".
The old 348/409 were called "turbo-thrust".
Small blocks were called "turbo-fire".
Big blocks were called "turbo-jet".

The big block fender emblems, with the V and crossed flags, include the "Turbo Jet", not aware of that style not having the wording. Perhaps the different ones you're seeing without are grille, hood or trunk emblems.

I wonder if he is referring to the decal on the air cleaner as the "badge"?

You did see this footnote, didn't you:
Not An Original Camaro Emblem...But, Pretty Cool For A 427 Conversion!
For badge location, but this book: Camaro Parts | L1067 | 1967 Camaro Assembly Manual | Classic Industries
Great book to have laying around for any future questions.
