INHO, all the right angle speedometor drive adaptor's are the same.
I base this on the fact that all these adapters have the same Moss
P/N regardless of application (i.e. early box, late box, O/D box).
It is the Speedometor Pinnion inside the gearbox itself which is
different. There are three different ones for Non-O/D units and
three different ones for O/D units. Again this is based on Moss
P/N(s).
On all transmissions I install, I omit the use of the right angle
adapter if I can suitably reroute the cable to obtain a little
extra play and avoid the need for it. I also try to avoid the use
of a right angle adapter at the speedometor end of the cable.
