agreed.

the Pete McCarthy book doesn't list this, and I just tried the search which was linked, and the results said it was supposed to have a '2263 carb which we know is wrong.

If 1972 was anything like 1973, then the engines which had a unitized distributor would have had a different code from points;
It looks like the McCarthy book doesn't address this (but there are known deficiencies in his book).
1973 is especcially convoluted because for a given engine where the code is shared amongst all
platforms (eg: 400/4bbl/auto) the codes are:
early 1973/points
early 1973/unitized
late 1973/points
late 1973/unitized
