I uploaded my current engine compartment for review. which I believe is pretty much the way it was when new in 74. I noticed the air cleaner is not original.

It also looks like you have side exhaust. Other than that do you have a question?

I'd like to get some nice color pictures of a 73 or 74 engine compartment, so I can see what is missing or different about mine. Since mine sat in the desert for 20+ years I will need to strip down the engine compartment, clean it up good, and then bring it back to life with new hoses, carb rebuild, ect.
