Not much. Are you looking for information regarding running a stock motor? Or in terms of a rebuild core?
For a rebuild core, they are the same. |

So you could transplant the appropriate MY's D-jet set-up if you're looking for a new engine/core, but save the old one if it's a matching number original engine to the car! |

Yeah the same but for the Fuel Injection. You don't want to mix the FI between the years. Also don't mix the wiring between them. Dont ask me how I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Then '74 is by far the better engine...:tongue in cheek:
Actually there are few subtle and meaningless differences: The 74 has: 1 year less wear... Single port throttle body, no throttle shaft spring Charcoal canister relocated to the engine bay (@ mid-year 74) Some, not all, FI components were changed for the 74 model as mentioned above Thaz all... |
