Hi, I just noticed this on my 1972 charger 770 ( only had it 15 years

a clutch rod hole is oval
you probably have a fuse in the top position and an orange wire floating about under the dash for the aircon control light as well

Pete,
Contacting the Valiant Infobase that I mentioned will give a full breakdown on the car. They are also very pleased to be able to log the existence of more of these cars.
