keep looking for a pre-78 and you will be able to use alot more parts ;D

if the 79 is dirt cheap it might be worth it.

Are you sure parts from the 79 will work? I am sure some will but the 79 is a dohc. I suppose there is always modifications that will work.

If its an SOHC some part assemblies will fit and some individual parts, if its a DOHC very little fits
