Good morning. All the Prestolite ignition boxes interchange on the Deere Kioritz’s. The plug styles changed a bit over the years, but you can adapt them if needed. I do want to warn you that many of us have had mixed results with the aftermarket Chinese boxes. The Hewtech boxes from cdibox.com are about the only bulletproof option. It is recommended to install a rewound stator as well. The originals are 50 years old and the coating on the windings fail over time.
