    OPGI lists two quick ratio boxes, new and rebuilt, that fit 61-72 Skylarks but different size and spline shafts. One is 3/4 30 spline and the other is 13/16 36 spline. Did it vary by model at all? I have a 68 Custom 350-4 car. Haven't pulled it off yet, was hoping to to swap same time.

    One is newer and the other is older style. I can't remember which is which but they make a rag joint that handles it. I put an '87 GN box in my 70 Stage 1 and it worked just fine. Also, the lines may be different as well. I had to use adapters to make the GN box work with my inverted flare lines.
