Stock, the US 1973 Type 3 put out 52hp at 4000rpm,
77ft/lb at 2200rpm. The 1970 model had 65hp at 4600
and 86.8ft/lb. Oddly enough, my 1972 owner's manual
doesn't have a HP rating, but it does give a torque
rating of 86.8ft/lbs as well at 2800rpm.

I imagine the 73's dramatic reduction in power was due
to emissions requirements?
