It looks like a 74, they came with the air ducts over the vents. You can make sure that someone did not just add the vents. If you look in the engine compartment and there is a large square hole, not louvers (SP?) then it is a 74.

Other differences are if it does not have a gas heater ( roundish thing in the trunk right near the dash) and heater boxes, then it is a 74.

Also, if there are hoses that run allong the tunnel and one from the tunnel to the dash it is a 74.

Hope that helps..
