If there are six plug wires and the engine looks like it is falling over, the only engine it can be its a 225.

If the fifth letter in the VIN is a "C" it's a 225. I don't think the 198 was still available in '73.

I thought that the 170 and 198 were also slanted and just the bore and stroke changed.
