The early non-synch trans has a different main shaft, and the overall 
transmission length is 1 1/8" shorter. In the factory installation this is 
taken into account by using a longer driveshaft. If you are retrofitting, you 
can also make up a spacer between the diff and rear driveshaft yoke (as long 
as you do  it properly!).
