That is the correct center section for a 73. You would want to measure the axle flange to axle flange distance and the center of axle/spring seat to axle/spring seat to see what it fits if a complete rear end. You can look for a small rectangular tag with the gear ratio on one bolt of the center section and round disk on another bolt if it's a limited slip rear end. You can also "count" your gear ratio if the tags are missing. Rotate the center yoke clockwise & count how many turns it takes to rotate the tire/axle one revolution. Your choices are 2.76, 2.94, 3.23 (most common),3.55, 3.91 and 4.10 to one.
awesome thank you. I didn’t have the tag or couldn’t find the bolt. It looks like it does have limited slip. What do you think?That is the correct center section for a 73.

I’ll take a look thank you for the helpBeing it's out there should be some stamping on the ring gear, telling you the ratio. Looks too be a sure grip to me.
Yes, that is a sure grip and as Jerry mentioned, the exact gear ratio will be stamped into the edge of the round "ring gear". Just spin it around & look for it. It will be stamped with one of the numbers I listed before.Awesome thank you. I couldn't find a tag or that bolt ill check the gears by hand. this looks like limited slip to me but could use some better knowledge on it.
