Re: Crankshaft pulley part # for a 76 or 77 with air (Jim Shea)

I checked my 77 last night, the double groove pulley is P/N 346300AA. The smaller one that drives the P/S or A/C (I don't remember which one) is P/N 346290AB. It's probably a zero not an "o" as I...

Re: Another A/C compressor question (guppie)

Re: Differences between 76 and 77? (SanDiegoPaul)

Wasn't the alarm switch on the fender on a 76? I know it's incorporated into the door lock on the 77s.

77 was the first year a standard radio could be used, as mentioned earlier.
