74 was the only year that system was used and then it was ruled unconstitutional and dealers were required to disable the system if the customer wanted them to. It is a simple "clip one wire" thing to do but at the moment I don't remember which on. I do remember it is a small green wire that sorta looks like a jumper. I did have a 74 and did exactly that. I think if you go to NTSB site and find recalls and service bulletins, there might be a bulletin on how to do it. There is also a sequnce sensor in the seats so if you buckle the belt and then sit down on it, the engine will not start. I don't know if those fail but it's something to look at.
