What is the part number on the K/S itself?

metal bracket wrapped around it the bolt goes through. The Type II is
more common on our cars and has a metal shaft the bolt goes through that
is surrounded by a plastic case.

My Bentley was damaged and I only saved the back half, My Haynes says: 

Resistance
Type I  = about 300K Ohms.
Type II = Infinite Ohms.

Torque

Type 1  - 84 to 108 INCH-pounds
Type II - 5-18 FOOT-pounds

Don't over tighten, don't use washers, don't under tighten. Sacrifice
small animals, pour out some of your malt liquor for those that have
gone before (after all you have a whole 40, you can spare some).
