Pricey, but very uncommon to find. I recently scored a 6-tooth yellow gear version, but the 1345 speedometer gears are still in my saved searches so I thought I’d pass this along.
The size and weight of this thing surprised me when mine arrived. It is odd that it was designed to be integral with the metal sleeve.

I'm not 100% sure that is what it is said to be. The 1981 table for drive gears is shown below and that part should be blue, not green. And while a package is there with it, it is not in the package so we don't know that it came from the package.
Yes, I do count 7 teeth. So maybe it is what it says it is. Can you compare yours to this one to see if the direction of the turns is correct and that I'm counting the teeth correctly?

Gary, I wonder if Ford changed the color in later years? The bricknose 1345 that I put in my 81 has a 7 tooth gear that is green... not as bright of a green as the eBay ad but I wouldn’t call it blue.
I, too, count 7 teeth on the green gear, and I count 6 on my yellow gear:

Maybe so, Jonathan. Yours certainly is green and the tooth count appears to be 7 as opposed to the 6 on the yellow one, both going in the same direction.
