Your 74 timeline was probably correct.
Sam Brocato, a co-worker at Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (1970-1979) had a Z-1 RT 1,000 cc. He significantly increased the turbo boast and reported 147 MPH, but I do not recall if that was top end or 1/4 mile speed.
Might be this Sam Brocato

Congrats on an enduring marriage.
I made the commitment in 1971 and she still puts up with me!
