You want the 70 - 72 carbs. They have a rounded dome as opposed to a "squared top" dome. Also the float bowls sit off to the side whereas on the 73,74 the float bowls are underneath the carbs.
now i have to fix it, some questions
after 25 years my muffler, header, header gasket and straight pipes are shot. my poor 260 needs new stuff straight back. my question is does anyone know if this thing has smog on the header? It is a cali car but the only thing i see on it is that black tube thing. any help would be appreciated.
also, are the 73 carbs any good or should i be looking for 71, 72 carbs. im not worried about visual smog because the place i take it coulnt tell a 72 from a 74.
thanks
chris

Yes, if all is original, your '74 had air injection into the exhaust manifold - part of emissions. How blind are they?!!

I cant see anything by the header, it is original but is under the engine and carbs. Very hard to get to, anyway, ill buy the smog pipes for it and slap them on. get rid of that wonderful smell.
