'73 and '74 2.0 Differences? Options

[Torque]

I am a newbie, but did own a '71 1.7 back in '79 while I was in college. Anyway, I am going to look at a '74 2.0 tomorrow and knowing that the '73 2.0 is the "one to get" my question is: How do the '73 and '74 2.0 models differ? Is the '73 truly "better" for some reason?

Thanks in advance!!

In addition to the lighter early 73 doors, mine has the 017 Cylinder Head Temp Sensor, not the later 012, and it has the early 2.0L dizzy and the very early ECU.

I even have vinyl around the windshield frame and early air inlets in the cabin.

Also early window handles, early window frames, early window rubber rear tabs and a very small early sound pad under the carpet in the rear trunk.

So old it is a different color than the black, sort of a dead mustard color.

Can't think of anything else.

PO removed the rear swaybar and I am not going to put it back in. Works better without it at all. After 6 of them, I finally listened to people here.
