The pics would be great. I hate to waste my money on the wrong thing. FYI, I have a stick trans.

ok, i have been round and round with this issue on my own a few times. early 
62 and earlier, all have a "volcano" lump on the end of the crank shaft. 
protrudes out and the flywheel sits on it. sometime between (cant find out 
exactly) mid 62-early 63 they changed to flat butt cranks. the autos HAD to 
have the flat cranks. the manuals seem to work either way. best bet, is to 
stay with what you got. flat but crank now, get a flat butt crank to replace 
with. or vice versa. its around 1" of a lump on the back of the "volcano" 
crank. i hope this makes sense. if you need pics to see what im talking 
about, just ask, i can post them pretty easy. i got 1 of each crank sitting 
out handy at the moment. i should put up some pics anyway just because i have 
them out. dave stohler
