Default Help me identify this ignition shielding

Digging around in the basement again and found this distributor cover/ignition shielding. It's a two-piece unit and appears brand new. Still has remnants of GM labels inside, but no part numbers. I recall being told it was for a 71, but I'm pretty sure it's not. Anybody recognize what year this fits and approximately what it's worth? Thanks in advance.

It is the exact same as my shielding for a '69.

If it fits a 69 it would also fit a 68 - if this is true I am looking for a full set - looks like you have the top half - would you take $40 for it?

I am not sure what year its is but I have a 1971 with it missing and could use one if it is for a 1971.

Thanks for the responses.

Looks then like this must be a 68-70E part. I recall that it did not fit a 71 I owned.

68-69, both years used same shield, but one side is broken. Both sides should be spot welded. The one side, the sides have broken from the weld.
