Where the plate bolts to the AFM - if there are 3 8x1.25 holes in a triangular fashion that holds the plate in place - that's an early - I think 77 and 78 AFM. If it has 4 holes on the bottom of the AFM in a rectangular fashion, then it's a later model - 79+. Someone will probably correct me, but I just replaced mine and they have an adapter plate now that sandwiches in between that is drilled for the 3 hole to mount to an early style Z.
AFM question?
How can you tell what year AFM you have? My AFM is missing the plate at the bottom to hold it down. I think I had to be changed at some point & I'm thinking it was changed with another year cuz I think the bolt pattern is different. Any help would be appreciated........

I have a 75 & I'm tryin to buy the plate but I want to make sure I get the right used one.........
Your 75 should have the 3 bolt pattern on the bottom. Worst case - pull it from the engine bay and flip it over and see how many bolts hold the plate to the AFM.
