That's because two different ones could be used depending on the distributor
cap and/or ignition wires being used on 83.5-85 models

Bosch  00041 - Original for 83.5-84 Models using Bosch 03010 Cap (the one
without the pins)
See my links:
http://www.oldvolkshome.com/ignition.htm#V8384
and
http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?strMasterCat=&idproduct=6724

Bosch  00061 - Original for 85 Models using Bosch 03212 or 03214 Cap (the
one with the pins)
See my links:
http://www.oldvolkshome.com/ignition.htm#V1985
and
http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?idProduct=6725

The airhead listing(s) are the most correct for original application,
because I wrote 'em ;-)

I happen to use the 85 style on "Ole Putt" because I prefer the "pin style"
distributor cap.  Just a personal opinion, but I feel it has a more positive
connection for the ignition wires.
