depends on the market ,, but generally 1973 is the end of the twin dizzy engines and start of the singles is 1974 year

US markets may be a little different but thats generally the rule

ie in australia 12a TD is found in LA22s ( rx4 sedan 1973 ) and also 1973 rx2 ( S122A ),, while the rx3 had the 10a ( S102A ) twin dizzy
( i believe the US rx3 linage is different )

1974 brings all single dizzy engines
LA23S ( 13b rx4 )
S122A ( still ) rx2,, but with a 12a SD
and S124A for the new 12a SD rx3

Havn't come across that one yet, but there are a lot of twin front covers laying around the shop.
