Lee, here are some shots of the track. If your boat has not been reworked, you have the old track. That was the original equipment. The new blocks will not fit the old track because the lip on the old track is vertically fatter than the new stuff. The repaired (note the screw in the set pin) bullseye block is used at the back of the tack to create a rising line feed into the winch, thus reducing sheet overrides. The new track comes in 2 versions, one version (shown) has more pin-stop holes to allow more granular adjustment. By the by, the bullseye block can be replaced with plain old bullseye bolted directly into the deck. I can show some pictures of that if you like.
