And you're not on our 73/74 TIMJG revision team because?
I cannot believe the number of production changes between 73-74 that were never incorporated in the original TIMJG.
What's the range of your temp gauge...100-250 or 100-280?
I've got your buildsheet and refer to it often!

...saw a neat White pretty original '74 conv that was like #00202. Had to have been a 2nd day production car. Wished I could've spent more time with it. Did notice that it had both '73 style wiper arms, whereas mine has one '73 style & one '74 style. Also have seen 3 different styles of the push button on the manual override on the starter interlock under the hood on the firewall.

mine goes to 280*. i wonder if the current JG addresses the early '74 two piece door weatherstrips & lack of a rain gutter at the rear of the sill plates?

Happy Birthday to your car. Hope she has many more with you as her owner. BTW, that very early 74, were you looking at it at Carlisle ? If so, it was built on Aug 17, 1973. # 00220. Let me know!

And we have caught these exceptions in the revision but it occurred to me that pink 73/74 manual stated that 1974 M40s were not equipped with AIR pumps. We proved that LS4 M40s were equipped with AIR using both the presence of the emission label and then putting eyeballs on the engine compartment and confirming the presence of AIR.
However, that left L48 M40s without confirmation of the presence of AIR. But buildsheets, including yours shows that indeed, the emission label called out was the ZB and it stated that AIR was equipped on 1974 L48 M40s. I have a few 1974 L48 M40 buildsheets and they all show the ZB label.
So, I'm guessing your car has AIR?
