Your tach in the '75 is electronic and the '72 is mechanical so it won't work unless you replace the distributor too. I would think there are too many differences between those years.

I looked in my after market parts catalog and it shows that the 72-76 shift console is the same part number.
The 1970 and 1971 have different part numbers for them, and the 77 style changed completely.
So from the catalog it should be the same.

Got AC in the '75? I'm thinking there is a little AC vent at the position of the driver's right knee on the '75s (had one in my '74). The earlier cars may not have had this vent.
