These links may help. Another difference is the grill on a 71 has plastic inserts that are divided in 3 sections.http://www.fordification.com/tech/VIN70.htm http://www.fordification.com/tech/VIN71.htm

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered a dome lens. The $12.99 includes shipping!I wonder if I can find that good of a good deal on a NOS paint job! :)

pushing the switch in makes the washer squirt. There should be two clicks to the right. One for slow the second for fast. It sounds like a bad switch to me.Check with a parts store first but here are some on E-bay...
