I beieve this one was 1976 - 78 model. Ill have to see if i can look up the serial. The thing is later model fujis from the early to mid 80s seem to be a bit different sizing. The later ones seem taller. The lugs and everything look the same.

I have tested this by using my fingers. This older model i have i can get 2 fingers (index and middle) to insert right at the the head tube. Both my figures just barely touch at the bottom dowuntube and the top tube. On the later models there is a bit more room where they dont touch....but it is just by a mm or two. I always thought that was strange. I wonder if that is when they switched from IN to CM? Who knows....just odd is all.
Classicfuji.com has the catalogs by year or model. T-mar's excellent post on Asian Serial numbers (see the sticky section at the top of the C&V subforum) will break yours down for you for year...
