    Which is best the best TH 400 to use in a Nailhead / TH400 combo in an A body ?


    I believe it is a short shaft .....

    ST400's for the nailhead were made from 64-66.
    '64 was a one-year-only version with a different case and valve body, and a shifter with only 'Drive' and 'Low'.....no 2nd.
    65-66 both had the switch-pitch feature, so that's what you want!
    Go with the short-shaft version, used in most (if not all), applications.
    I don't even see a long-tail ext housing in my '66 parts catalog!
