Should be 7/8 fine thread. You might want to measure your cable housing threads and verify the threads with the seller.

Perfect so just changing out this head should work? The old teeth should be fine?

Unless it’s for a different rear end tire size combination.
It’s a square drive just like any other older chevy.

The rear end tires are a lot bigger they are 275/35 r15s but it shouldn’t throw the spedometer off that much should it?
