Bill,
I take it form your commission number that you have a J-type OD on order.
Believe it or not but there is no difference in the driveshaft. The OD
trans is
no longer than the non-OD model. There is a bracket used to adapt the
non-OD unit to the transmission mount which is designed for the OD unit.
You can remove this bracket and stow it away with the non-OD transmission.
You will need a right angle drive for the speedo cable (which you will
reuse).
Other than that all you need are the OD switch, escutcheon, relay and
wiring.
Write back when you start the job and we can help you through it.
