If you had a Mustang or Fairlane tranny, that could be your issue... the shifter position would be different. Just a thought.

My memory is similar to yours, Paul. Although the tail shaft lengths changed, I seem to remember the tailshaft mount location remaining the same. Some boxes just had a longer tailshaft, but the basic transmission and its mounting points at the can and the chassis did not change.
The shifter location and tunnel opening mismatch is confounding ...
