Don't know if it's the same part # as mine, but it fits and works in a late model.

Good responses, thanks. Mine's a '73. so I guess that is late?
I have the problem where turning the key in the ignition doesn't turn the electric switch far enough to connect the starter circuit. This might be a nice fix. |

If those are the symptoms, that key and tumbler isn't gonna fix it. You need a new ignition switch. The Cap'n |

I noticed the prong that engages the electric portion is twisted a little bit backward. Therefore it wont turn the electric switch far enough to make contact. I have a feeling that others out there have the same issue but are looking at the wrong part. Not all, but some. |
