Good to hear from you, Roger. I can't imagine the books not matching the
parts. . . never happened to me!

What kind of graphic files can you open? I have Kodak digital camera and can
send you the pictures via e-mail, as my car also has a Delco alternator.

I can try to send you that with the alternator shots.
>>You have CC82030UO, it should be really close to this car in features.
I have retractor seat belts, but no metal leveler device like the
later cars and the retractor has dual springs... I also see NO
seat belt holder things on the side of the seat, these clips are
present on my '73.<<
I also have the retractor (inertia-reel) seat belts and they are made by
Kangol. I don't know what you mean by the "metal leveler device" and "the
retractor has dual springs". As far as the seat belt holder clips, if you
peel back the carpet at the inner sill you will probably find two holes that
are drilled there and they accept sheet metal screws. One more thing, my car
does not have the flip up vent. It has the grill of the '73 model. Yours
should have the same because I have found that the later '72's had the grill.
