Helpful, but "early" and "late" usually refer to specific running changes made on the assembly line. If you are looking for parts, you will want to determine whether your car could be early or late for that specific part.

Default Early or late

Yes,, You are correct...They say the switch was made in mid March of 77..... Thats when mine was built ( mid March ) I think I'm a late for the T top weatherstripping .But it looks as if parts phased in over a period of time instead of changing all at once.
