Hi Robert,

Same part. It was also used on the baywindow buses from 1974 (CA Auto
only, all others that year were carbureted) to 1979.

There is also one on my wife's 85 cabriolet; that one has CIS fuel
injection. I am pretty sure it was also used on other Bosch-FI marques
in the 70s and 80s, including Volvo and others.

Happy Trails,
