RETAINING CLIP

Reading the factory recall info a bit more, it appears any accumulator found on a car after those vin numbers would be of a corrected design.

Thanks for all your help. I still may bypass it all the same just to be on the safe side. I think I have some clips that look the the illustration that should work. If not, does anyone have any or is it repopped?

No problem, DJ. Glad to help when I can. If you post the pics I should be able to ID them for you.

Here is a great color combo for a 74 SD car with high mileage. Most of these cars dont have high mileage due to being collected or raced. Kinda different?

Went to 38,100 Reserve not met.
Is the 74 SD market getting hurt more than the 73 SD's because of the difference of units produced? I don't see the 73's as droping alot for a "good" car.

I wouldn't read much into any eBay auction that ends around the Christmas holiday, too many distractions both timewise and financially at this time of year to get a good read on the market in my opinion

Just wanted to wish all my SD brothers and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Same to you up in the cold and snowy north. Raining here in Florida this morning but sun this afternoon and low 70's. Think Spring!

Enjoy the holidays and god speed to all.

Show some pictures so we all can enjoy After all most of us have a few feet of white stuff outside our windows and can only dream of spring for that kind of fun.
Enjoy,

Sure would like to read, hear, know more and most of all see pics of the ever elusive 73 SD Formula's.

She's still the same 'ol fugly primer beast. I did put new carpet in. Needs seats recovered and a correct 1-piece 73 headliner, then it's just paint. I've got a helmet cam, maybe i'll pop that on the dash today. I've gotta come up with an errand to run--my truck is out of service at the moment so the formy is doing daily driver status ...ohhh the hardship ...)))

I bought a 74 FB about 20 years ago. Included with the car was a new in the box headliner kit. The previous owner had bought the headliner and then found out it wasn't correct for a 1974. I was told it was for a 1973. It's a kit of some sort & has the ribs & material & clips. I don't know if you would call it one piece headliner or not?? It is white or off white. If you want to know more about it I'll pull it out & have a look at it. Let me know.

The headliner you're refering to is for a very early '73 that used the bows with fabric(material). Later in the year, they changed over to the one piece style. It might not be correct for his car depending on the production date. Also they are more difficult to install than the one piece.

[x-bird2]

thanks for the offer, but that's not the correct one for mine. At times though, i have considered going to the bow/perforated vinyl style. I'd have to pick up the correct trim pieces along with it. I actually prefer the look of that type over the carpeted one piece.
