The catalog shows this part was later renumbered to 68-5197, so if your parts book or an old box in the shop lists 68-5197 instead, that's the same physical washer under the newer factory number.
We don't have more detail on this one beyond that. It's a small, simple item — if you're not sure it matches what's on your points setup, call the shop and we'll confirm before you order.
