Three bits of misinformation, all from one guy (Zoomad).

"The second detail is the pulleys. The high hp engines as the 270hp solid lifter dual quad and the 283hp solid lifter FI engines would have been equipped with deep groove pulleys to prevent the belt from getting thrown at higher rpm. The hydraulic cam dual quad and FI engines got the standard depth pulleys like this car has."

ALL DUAL QUADS HAD DEEP GROOVE PULLEYS.

"Another tip off between the solid cam engines and the hydraulic versions is the solid cam engines ran dual point distributors where the hydraulic versions used the standard single point dizzy. I can’t tell by the pics which one this has."

ALL DUAL QUADS HAD DUAL POINT DISTRIBUTORS.

The last thing that differs between the solid lifter engines and the hydraulic versions is the fuel line size. Solid cam engines have 3/8” fuel line from the tank to the pump, carbs or Injection unit. The hydraulic cam engines came with the standard 5/16” fuel line size front to back. I can’t tell by the pics what the fuel line size is.

ALL DUAL QUADS HAD 3/8 FUEL LINE.

All of the above can be gleaned just from the AIM.
