What is the correct part number for a magneto cam for a 1953-54 Evinrude 25hp (model number 25012)?

One mechanic tells me it is 510169, and another tells me it is 510168. Is there a difference, or are they interchangeable?

I have the first on order, but it will take two weeks to get here. I'd hate to wait that long to find out it is the wrong part (and out $40 plus shipping). :(

Holy crap. You should have just come here. One of us could have sold you one (or gave you one) for a lot less than that. $40 plus shipping?? WOW

Yep, I wish I had. One mechanic said that the part was no longer made so couldn't get it from his suppliers and would be hard to find. So I started looking for it at other places. The second mechanic first said he could get it in a couple of days for $12, but apparently he mistakenly referred to the cam adjuster(?). We sorted that out, but the price and time delay jumped... Then I found out the two places disagreed on the part number. That is when I started to worry who was right.

I just got a copy of the parts manual for the '53 Evinrude 25hp from a fellow member. The magneto cam part number is 510169.
