There are actually 3 different versions:

Early, '68-9, with separate output shaft side covers, early ones have torque 
convertor with fewer fins.  These should be replaced with the late version.

Middle, '70-1

Late, '72-3, with different vac modulator and, possibly, governor and valve 
body.

[Dual carb version used a third vac modulator]
