71' 460 vs. 74' 460 timing gears

I have a 74' 460 and I am currently rebuilding it. I'm trying to figure out what Edelbrock heads i want. I ordered a comp cams cam and lifter kit then realized I would need the timing set, rocker arms, push rods, ect. I want this comp cams timing gear and chain set but it says it's for 68'-71' 460 motors and I was wondering if it would fit my 74' 460. Thanks in advance.

I think '72 is when Ford retarded the cam timing to reduce NOx emissions? The '68-71 set would then be the non-retarded, higher-performance version, I think. I believe they're interchangeable, just have the timing mark moved by a tooth or two.
