16:1 or 24:1.
Count the turns on your box to find out which you have.

I believe by ‘72 the quick ratio boxes were no longer an option so it should be 24:1.
The stock 24:1 ratio means the steering wheel should turn about 5 1/2 turns lock to lock, the fast ratio boxes at 16:1 are close to 3 1/2. The aftermarket 20:1 boxes should be about 4 1/2.
