Dave's memory is the same as mine, but I just pulled out someType 3 
Owner's manuals:

'73
52 hp at 4000 rpm, SAE net
77.0 ft-lbs at 2200 rpm, SAE net

'72
no hp rating listed
Max torque 86.8 ft-lbs at 2800 rpm, SAE

'70
65 hp at 4600 rpm, SAE
86.8 ft-lbs at 2800 rpm, SAE

Note the '73 is measured as "SAE net" while the earlier years are 
simply "SAE." I'd never noticed this before and didn't realize that 
the measurement change occurred this early. Thanks to Dennis for 
pointing this out.

Those are the only Owner's manuals I have right here next to the 
computer. Those of you with '72s might want to check your manuals to 
see if the hp rating managed to get into one of the other printings.

I didn't find hp ratings in my "Service Without Guesswork."
