73-74 differences ?

[Sputnik]

What are the (noticeable) differences between 73-4 Satellites ?

I know that on the Roadrunner hoods that the 73's are louvered at the cowl. 74's are not. None that I am aware of as far as the shape of the sheetmetal. Possibly some differences in the location of holes, or studs, for trim or badging.

That's all I can find as well.

The Satellite sundance had a bunch of differences....
It was a 1 year only option for 1974.
The car also came with a 3spd wiper motor.
1/4 vinyl roof.
rare vinyl roof trim.
Sundance decals.
Sundance interior.
Cruse control cars had the washer reservoir on the passengers side,very different size and shape.
The wheels were different as well.
And the Sundance only came with a 318.
You could only get it in Aztec Gold Metallic or Spinnaker white.

Have a look at pg 6 on my Car Domain:

On the left is the washer rez and on the right is the cruise.
Check out the 3sp wiper motor.

All the 1974 cars: Satellite/Sebring/sebring plus/Sundance/GTX/Roadrunner had a bump in the trunk it had to do with emisions 1973 cars did not have the bump.

"I defer to the higher power"! Haha! I WILL pm you sundance, with MY questions, buddy!
funny though, I dont remember the bulge in my 74 RR. Could this be a Canada Only thing? You guys tended to do emissions stuff before us.

Are you 100% sure that's how it came? What's the SPD? Although I haven't ever seen it, I would guess it may be possible some very early cars could have 73 tanks.

The 74's also had the windsheild washers on the wiper arms

My friend Paul has a really rare hood, it's a 73-74 style Roadrunner hood "Power bulge" but it's on a 1972 Plymouth Satellite the hood has not been messed with.
It has different body lines and is shorter that the roadrunners from 72 but it's vary cool...I'll dig up some pic's.I have never seen or herd of this before,has anyone else???
