Shims like this one are typically stacked or swapped in small increments to set up correct running clearance on rotating or reciprocating components. We only have this part tied to one catalog entry, from 1971, so we can't speak to how far back or forward it carries across other years.
If you're working on a bottom end rebuild and need to get your clearances right, it's worth having a few of these on hand in different thicknesses. Call the shop if you want to confirm exactly what stack this belongs to before you order.
