Makes me wonder if they even bothered to try finding an NOS one for a pattern of simply used a later dated logo off something else? Sad efforts IMO

I believe most people haven't looked at a 1973 FSM. I suppose that's understandable because most folks are not doing to many '73's... 73 Challenger 340(416),E-heads, 727, 3.23 SG 2015 Challenger R/T classic B5, wife's car 2010 Ram 3500 Crew Cab SLT dually 4X4 2016 Challenger Hellcat Redline Red A8

So the 73's had a 2 piece line as in prior years which presents the question of why not use a 1 piece line from the pump to the carb?? Unless of course they never built them as depicted in the FSM... 73 Challenger 340(416),E-heads, 727, 3.23 SG 2015 Challenger R/T classic B5, wife's car 2010 Ram 3500 Crew Cab SLT dually 4X4 2016 Challenger Hellcat Redline Red A8

The ink stamps look close at a glance but as some have noticed, the fonts vary. Close enough for 99% of buyers.
