Nicolas, if you are trying to determine whether you have the early high compression motor or the later lower compression "Cobra Jet" motor, one clue is a dual point distributor for the "Cobra Jet" if it still has the original distributor (and motor). I'm interested if anyone can provide VIN #s of '72 original Cobra Jets so we can determine the approximate switchover dates.
