Has anyone else noticed 2 different styles of sleeve on the front inner seat belts?

It could be because of huge gap in weeks between the 2 sides.

I have to love that original, holey Oldberg muffler. don't see too many "survivor" Oldbergs these days. In any condition.

I was mad when I realized I never took photos of the one I pitched that was in the '74 Formula.

Still wears spiral shocks. Rear assembly date. And, even though the gas tank was replaced, it still wears the original gas cap.

I remember mine were all pretty close except for 1. Most of them were within the first 5-7 weeks of 73, but one was the 16th week and my car had a ship date of 04C. So what, did the seat belt hold up shipping? Sorry for the poor quality photos, took them about 5 years ago.

Back in the 70's there was a company. ( Mr Gasket? ) that made a metal donut so you could run a 4bbl "v-8" air cleaner on a 2bbl V-8 car. Saw them at Carlisle in the early 80's a few times too. Just a thought..
Another is keep the 2bbl as " dual Jet" 200, which will run a 4bbl air cleaner....
