In 1970 (not including Corvette) All 396, 400, 454 received the shield.
Corvettes use a different shield.
My very original '69 COPO auto does not have the shield, and I asked the 2nd owner about 30 years ago if it had a shield and he said no.
Until someone can prove otherwise, I am NOT going to use the shield on my Turbo 400 B/B car.
Over the years I asked many people who are well versed in these cars and could not get a definite answer one way or another.
Not sure why they needed it in 1970 and not in 1969.
