handle surrounds/wiper arms, electric fan AND the bumpers...on the
79/80's. (once smog stuff is removed too)..

Hey Mike:
The 1500 motor was in all of the 1500 series cars, including the
pre-smog cars, so that can't be the reason to prefer the '79. Besides,
a lot of people will tell you that the 1300 is the way to go for speed,
because of it's preferable bore/stroke configuration.. (Back me up here
Kevin Allen!!)
So I'm still curious why the later ones would be desirable...
