Tank looks like a boss maroon color, makes it a 1974. These petcocks seems to be a bit more expensive than the older ones, but you can find them on eBay.com. Maybe this one?

...if you got the ability to act...

My Honda K6 parts book shows 16950-341-671 as the correct part number, which also fits the K5.

Personally I would go with the genuine Honda petcock, as it’s already been proven to give long term and reliable service:

+1. OEM Honda beats aftermarket petcocks every time!
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.
