There were some problems with the ignition that the
original owners didn't remember, so they had it
changed back to standard points-type, which it is
using now. I figure both of these things have to do
with End-of-year. Was the electronic ignition optional
for '74? Also, no smog equipment but a vapor canister.
No EGR even.

------->The bell depth is 7", is that the short bell?
I seem to recall my '69 390 Javelin bell from 20 years
ago to be deeper.

------>Those features are just as stated.  So where
does that leave us with Garrett's question, or my
eventual T-5 swap? That is DEFINITELY going to happen.
See my "Help" post from March the 16th.
