Kevin,
I'd have a guess and say the 73 series would not. Here is why.
The HJ engine manual (Oct74 onward) shows the thermo doovie. My Jun 74 253 has the heater adapter on the LH manifold, so it takes the hot air intake. I have the rocker cover breat

Hi Guys.
This took a bit of research, but I have the definitive answer. Also it pays not to use sales brochures for info on mid-model upgrades. They are not always reliable.

Dr Terry,
Is this for the 308 only ? My Aug 73 253 does not have those mods. Would this be right? I'm the 2nd owner.
Cheers, John

Hi Dr Terry,
DER on ME !!! I just had a look !
The 1973 HQ has ...25, 26.
The 1974 HQ has ...25, 27, 28
For those that dont know:
ADR 25 - anti-theft locking (LOL)
ADR 26 - not/never used, hence missing on the 74 car
ADR 27 - emission regs

MMMMM very interesting, My complience plate has ADR 25 & 26. so I take it mine had no thermostatically controlled vacuum flap on the snorkel, which is quite strange if that bulletin took affect in august 73, as before mentioned, mine was built on the 5th |

Hi Kevin.
The other clue would be to see if the carby has the tamper proof idle screws. This is only true for the 6 cyl & 253 V8s though.
