Will a 16v potentiometer work on 300E?

[WANT '71 280SEL]

Posted earlier but got no responses. Will a potentiometer for a 1986 16v work on my father's 1987 300E? The part # for the 16V is 3-437-224-035. I have read the other threads on replacement but I wanted to make sure that was the same number for mine.
Thanks
David

If you pull off the air cleaner, you should be able to read the number from the old pot.
