Not sure what significant differences there are with the two, but it does state the PT gasket is a stock replacement whereas the 1074 is a performance gasket. I've used 1074's for years with no problems FWIW.

for anyone who wants to know the main differences in the gaskets
first of the 1074 is the performance gasket with a compressed thickness of .039" the bore is 4.125 and the combustion chamber volume is 8.7cc

the 9966pt is the felpro stock replacement gasket has a bore of 4.1 inch
and i believe a compressed thickness of .055 which is thicker than stock if i remember corectly
