Our catalog record only shows this part appearing in 1974 listings, so that's the extent of what we can confirm from our own records. If you're matching this against an engine of a different year, bring in your existing part or the number off it and we'll check before you buy.
Given where it sits in the timing gear train, wear here usually shows up as slack or noise in the timing chest rather than anything dramatic, so it's worth a look if you're already in there for other reasons.
