Do not buy the '74 unless the engine was rebuilt by an enthusiast rebuilder.
The '74s had a oil delivery problem which caused them to eat their engines
at an early age.  The '73s were the second best 2002s made.  The '76s (their
last year of production) were the best of all.  I had my 2002 for 13
years and loved it.  The weber carb is a good bet.  The original Zenith
was a piece of over-priced junk.  AIR is still doing business in rebuilding
2002s.  They're located in Reading, PA., not Belvedere, NJ as before.
