Camshaft wheel
Camshaft drive wheel from the crankshaft and timing gear train, listed 1964-1970 and later superseded by 71-3666.

The camshaft wheel is the gear that drives the cam off the crankshaft train, so it has to mesh cleanly with its mating gears to keep valve timing correct. Our records show this part across catalog listings from 1964 to 1970, and it was later superseded by 71-3666 if you're trying to match up part numbers between old and new parts books.
If you're rebuilding the timing side of the engine, it's worth checking this gear along with its mating components for wear before putting things back together. Call the shop if you need help confirming which version applies to your engine.
