Early 833 ID???

Is there a difference between a 64-65 a833 manual a body trans and a 70-71 ? Is one better than the other? Or what are the differences?
The only primary difference that I'm aware of is the output flange the trunnion style early but after 65 in the 66 Model year they went to the universal joint. Some of my terminology might be wrong there. But that flange Union went away after 65.
You might have a low first gear there also
maybe something like 3.09/1 . But please don't bet on my knowledge or memory.
