Spro, you didn't miss anything much, just don't understand how the early 
Jeeps w/AMC engine fitted a TH-400. The AMC TH-400 case didn't come 
along until around 1972 or 73. It was used through 1969. Prior to that 
the "universal" model TH-400 (same as the Buick "Nailhead" case/bell -- 
it was also sold as the universal to other makers because the shallow 
bell left plenty of room for an adapter -- the old Buick Nailhead had a 
deep flange on the back of the block) was used with a cast iron adapter 
ring 1.5"-2" thick. The ring was used mostly with the AMC 327 (65-67 in 
FSJs), but some Jeep sites report that a similar setup was used with 
71-72 AMC V-8s. The 327 has a different bolt pattern than later AMC 
V-8s, of course.
