The only difference I can see visually is that this doesn't have the thin splined washer that was in between the planetary and the ring gear on my original.

I have read that there was a change in the spline taper sometime around 1976, but I can't figure out if that would affect what I'm replacing or not.


727 and 904 do not interchange

Spline angle only affects the front carrier/output shaft front spline.
