Cold start valve should be 70-73.  Fuel pressure regulators
for cars with EGR have a right angle extension on the inlet to clear 
the EGR valve.  The EGR cars are a subset of 72-73 AT cars so MT only 
is a bit misleading.

 I THINK the EGR cars are the X-prefix engines.  I have one of 
these, plus one former EGR engine and have worked on one more.  I 
think they are pretty rare (only about 4000 made!) but were for the 
72-3 CA market.
