Hmm... I can't speak for the 2.0 liter engine part, but I ran into a
guy that had a `74 bus that had fuel injection.  I can't speak for
whether he knew what he was talking about thinking that his was a `74
or not, but for a long time I thought fuel injection was implemented
mid-year in `74 (since my `74 doesn't have it).  He did have a 1.8
liter engine, though.  Could it be that he had a `75 and didn't know
it?  I'm pretty sure it was stock, BTW.

Just another data point for the detail-curious amongst us...
