76 and later hoods have the hooks on the windshield rests that bolt to the hood. The earlier hoods have the hook keepers (?) welded to the hood. Maybe you have a later hood on your 73. Using the newer windshield mounts will work if you drill holes to mount them in the right place. If you have a newer hood than you'll need to change your windshield hinges to the newer type for the windshield to fit the mounts.
