the jack far enough back to reach the diff, but the lifting arm hits  the
muffler. 



Hi Scott,
 
Years ago I bought a long and not very tall hydraulic jack from Sears...it  
has great reach and will easily clear the muffler to connect with the  diff.  
One trick we used in the shop for "low rider" TR6s was to gently  lift the rear 
end while a helper scoots the jack in past the muffler and quickly  raises it 
to start a lift. It's not usually necessary to lift the car when  "jacking 
down" in the rear because the rear wheels usually have enough inward  tuck to 
give you another inch or so clearance.
 
Good luck!
