hi

I did fined a replacement but cast number is 3769966 also from 74 ,
will fit in my 318 or not ??

Yes If it's off a LA not A. If it looks the same it is. In the late 60's water pump was different, outlets I think. That the pump not the timing cover. Timing marks the same location as yours?

Timing marks moved around for sure , this doesn't affect me as I set timing by ear anyway .

I found the two part numbers of the timing covers online and posted below. Looks like the timing mark is the same and once installed, no one will likely know the difference.
