The Bottom ones are same 70-74 and the AMES version are the only correct ones I have seen, so far. Their hardware is way off that comes with it.
Check out a couple videos I made on this subject. The core support and mounting it 6 min 20 sec >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9DtbP4ez2A The mounting hardware > 1 min 53 seconds.. >>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHJLaqe-qnQ Last edited by Formulabruce; 08-03-2020 at 12:05 AM. |

That said ;, my Next trip Down to Ames I will bring a tiny front frame section, and ask them to pull a 771 kit and discuss the difference and make sure they know what actually works. NEITHER is correct for 1975 or 76 The '75 and '76 are a much taller unit and the nut has no "imprint" or locator in the subframe. This is because the car has a header panel which sets the distance apart , so it only needs a slight side to side adjustment. The 771 kit "might" work on a 75 and 76 if you have 3 hands and a buddy to help. |

Funny that the '73 had a flanged headed bolt when even the '74 had a hex headed bolt. And you're right on AMK doesn't have one listed.
Washers are listed... https://www.amkproducts.com/search-result/?ser=9781851 And the clip may be this one... https://www.amkproducts.com/search-result/?ser=B-13226
