BJ74 - BJ73: what's the difference?

Post by Muddboots »

I have a BJ 74 and have friends with 73s, and as far as I can tell, they are the same.

However, I went to get a clutch slave cylinder the other day and discovered that the 74 has a unique slave cylinder. This got me thinking, what else is different about the 74 compared to the 73?

Think the Bj74 is more of a jap domestic market model
Bj74 13bt - bj73 3b engines
Is the 73 12v or 24v?
Havent seen many/any auto 73's, my 74 was 13bt+auto
Bj74 had a clutch booster like a pootrol an maybe 80series? Dont think the bj73 had the booster
Didn't barbie drive a jeep??
