If you're putting a 73 engine in a 71 and they are both FI, you 
should transfer all the FI parts from the old 71 engine onto the new 
73 engine. The only thing that I can think of that is actually different 
is the throttle position switch, which you can just move by itself.

I would also use the old 71 distributor.

This wire 33, what/where is it? I suspect that it is part of the EGR 
or some other emissons part which the 71 does not have. The only 
thing I can think of that has a WIRE connecting to a WIRE can't be 
a 33.

You really complicate your life by mixing parts. Keep it a 71 and 
everything will work much better for you. There's no problem with 
the 73 core engine, just make sure the FI parts are a matched set.
