If your PX-10 has a BSC BB (English) which I doubt a mid '70s would...then it will fit. Assuming you need a FR threaded unit, I had one of these in a Gitane TdF and was very happy with it, I think the spindle length is about right for an older crankset, such as a Stronglight 93, but do check on that before you buy.You could also try *mashing* it into your FR bb, since the cups are alloy, but that's a one-shot deal and won't permit any maintenence.

You don't have to be a Peugeot expert to know that the BB in question will not fit a mid seventies Peugeot with French threads. I've noticed a lot of French thread conventional bottom brakets on Ebay lately. Try searching vintage parts.
What's wrong with the parts you have?

No.
If you want to go with a sealed unit, get Phil Wood mounting rings and either a Phil BB or a Shimano UN72 (works w/Phil Rings, tho Spindle/Crank compatability may be an issue with old SL cranks).
I believe your bike is actually a PX10E, BTW. Steeper angle on the headtube than a standard PX. I have one from the same year, also built as a fixie.
