I am not certain. I believe really late 72, 73 model year. 72s have a special timing requirement that Bentley describes well. Mine was VERY early, yet has the dual bleeder 100cm2 brake calipers, the U engine code, all 72 spec FI stuff, and sticker shows 5 deg for timing, as the 72 specs dictate. I bet the car would run straight up at 0, but I'd check into that. We need someone with a late 72 or 73 to chime in about the x code... Don't have haynes for t3, only the early bug/ghia one. >>>>>This is from the Haynes Manual (the Staple in the uk;-) )- >>>>>what you are saying makes sense though because I have no >>>>>reason to disbelieve the PO who said it had never been >>>>>changed.
