If I remember right, '73 was different from all the others. Some one has a link to a list that matched them all up recently. Also, there is a wire coming out of the injection harness that connects to the main wire harness in the engine compartment. It is on the left side, forward of the intake runners. This wire switches the fuel pump from the start mode to the run mode after the engine starts. It is shown as T-1c on the first page of the '73 Bentley wiring diagram.
