Briann, I've got my 74 on a rotisserie now so it was easy to check. I found that the crossflow muffler hanger, tail pipe hangers, drive shaft bumper, front gas tank strap & many or the fluid/vapor line attaching holes are all the same thread. I used a one half inch hex head course thread 1" long pointed tip. What I would call a heavy type sheet metal screw & was able to turn it in with my fingers in all or the afore mentioned screw holes.
