I would have thought that the hardened valve-seats came earlier than '73-- I may be wrong, but wasn't there a change in fuel-requirements some where in the middle of 1969 production? I'm sure someone here will know. I thought the unleaded fuel was needed across the board in about 1970. My '63 and '67 Imps get a diet of a few gallons of leaded premium- sold in several places here as racing-gas- and then the rest of the tank gets topped off with 92 or 93 unleaded premium; they both run well with no pinging. I always carry either five or ten gallons of the racing-fuel in cans when I travel and feed it to the tank as needed. And I add my thanks, admiration, and appreciation to those who have fought, were injured, or died to preserve our freedoms.

The production date on the vehicle is 11/72. Not sure of the casting numbers or if this version of 440 was used across the board in other Mopars.
