By "non-ralley" I meant the instrumant cluster.
The only available options mine didn't come with are; fender mounted turn indicators, ralley dash, am/fm w/cassette, hood pins, and the aformentioned 360 w/dual exhaust. Also, my car is not a Barracuda nor a Gran Coupe, it is a BS23 'Cuda and had the 318/904 combo.
From what I have researched, in '73 the BS23 'Cuda came with a 318 2bbl standard and a 340 4bbl option. in '74 it was a 318 2bbl standard and 360 4bbl option. I have never seen nor heard of a '73-4 318 manual trans 'Cuda and neither Galen or his books could tell me if any exist.
Still hard to imagine a loaded, badged out 'Cuda with a single pipe !

Hood pins were not available on the 73 E-bodies.
As for the trans, you could get a 318 2 bbl, single exhaust and it came with a 3-spd floor-mounted manual. 4-spd not available with the 318 in 73. Torqueflite was optional.
On E-bodies, 4-spd was only available on the 340 in 73, 360 in 74.

I think the 340 was standard in the 72 Cuda very early on in production. I think there is some factory literature on Hamtramck-historical stating that the 318 would be the standard engine in the 72 Cuda after a certain date. I'd have to look for it to be certain. EDIT: Here is the bulletin dated Sept 24, 1971. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/imag...p%20pib%205.jpg

Were hood pins available on a '74 BS23G (318) 'Cuda and if so, was the "Plymouth" nameplate still in the front corner ? I have an earlier hoodpin hood that has no notches in the brace for the three studs to mount the nameplate (I assume so the lanyard doesn't rub on it) and a later non-hoodpin hood that has them. Either way, it will have pins and dual exhaust if/when I ever get to finish it.
Hood pins were not offered on any 72-74 E-bodies. As far as putting them on your 73 Cuda, go for it... I put them on my 73 Challenger, and like them alot. I also put on the duals w/ factory tips.

Not to hijack the E-body thread..but I have the sister car to your 'Runner a '74 Charger Rallye with a 318-2bbl and a console shifted pistol grip 4-speed. I'm sure it's rare too! ~RT NO factory dual exhaust or 4bbl on 318 powered e-bodies.
That's interesting, I never knew that the later 'Cuda was offered with a 318 2V with no dual exhaust with it. Yet you could get a 318 2V Road Runner in '73-'74 and it came with dual exhaust and machine gun tips. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif" alt="" /> I have a '73 Road Runner, factory 318 2V, Pistolgrip 4 speed car (rarest combo that year, 1 of 350) with dual exhaust and tips:

For the uninformed, the base level Plymouth E-body was called Barracuda. The high performance one was called 'Cuda and the luxury one was called Gran Coupe. The 'Cuda was the counterpart of the Challenger R/T.
So many people call every Plymouth E-body a 'Cuda but that's not accurate.
R. The public was calling all barracudas "cudas" long before plymouth did their performance barracuda.
