What's the prefix on the engine number? If it's a 68 it's likely a 1500; engine# prefix would be H or SFH.

That would be SFBR.
SF = SA assembled
B = type2 single port
R = replacement case
Below and right of the pulley you can see an oval shaped blank, which identifies the case as a Brazilian or Mexican "universal" case, which would have been a replacement case, which fits type 1, 2 and 3 applications.
