Crank, block, and head are all a bit lighter from about 82-up. 76-77 will work just fine, though.

I thought the air pump heads were heavier.

There is scalloped out material removed in the casting all over the head. I think that head is '80-up. Saves about 5 lbs over a 76-79 head, and is almost as light as a 75-down drool tube head.

'76 is the changeover year. Some were steel, some were cast. :shock:
