Before anyone gets excited that's just a typo - 85.5x69 yields 1584.6cc, not 1548 ;) Every `75-`79 FI engine I can recall encountering used the "AJ" AS21 alloy case. The way I remember it, AH and AK were just `72-`74 8mm-head-stud variants of the `71 AE AS41 case - no difference between them...AH engines met California emissions standards, but plenty of them were sold outside of CA (at least on the west coast).
