    RockAuto.com shows a Four Seasons 84815 $10.79 for a '75. Should work fine.

    No listing for a '74 - probably some minor difference, maybe in hose diameter or heater connection.

    Ok, PN for the '74 is 318 9718, and '75-on is 322 4216. I suggest you buy the part for '75-on and see what's different about it.

    You can use the t-stat housing from a 4.0 wrangler as well. You just need to get a plug for the Temp sensor port on the housing.
