Tark is basically right that there weren't a lot of changes in '78,
probably fewer than in some other years, but he missed the biggest
one--the distributor and ignition module. Here's the list of changes I
have for '78:
1978. Same 2 slot grille used as 1977, but support bars are blacked out.
New arm rests (from S-Series), Prestolite "Common Base" distributor
with integral electronic ignition used after 10/6/77, 3.73 rear axle
ratio optional, Tiempo All-season tires optional, plastic tail light
and marker light housings after 2/78, Lock-O-Matic Hubs have steel
ring in manual section replacing plastic 3/6/78. New
appliques:Rallye has "hash" marks, white and woodgrain with pattern
that varies from front to rear, stripe is now a thin stripe between
the markers. Rustproofing improvements are gradually being made.
