    Definitely looks to be part of the seatbelt interlock system, though I've never seen a black one. Does your car have a button just in front of the drivers side shock tower?

    It's like a rectangular metal box with a red rubber button on top. Has a plug that plugs into the bottom with 3 or 4 wires going to it. It would be located between the windshield washer and shock tower. The button is for a mechanic to bypass the interlock system.

    Yeah, my 75 had the interlock and didn't have cats...
    So there must be a mid-year change.
    My car has the early gauges too... I think later ones got the later style gauges.

    Eddie must have a 75 1/2! :D

    Fwiw, my car was built in March or April 75... Forgot which.

    My 74 Comet's got it, under the radio and on the front of the shock tower too.
