Tony,

While "the Duke" supplied the correct information, they ARE different from the
Mk II with the "wide ratio" (not) transmission.  The helical drive gear on the
lay shaft are different too. 

This would give much better overall performance than the "close" (not) ratio
Mk I, IA, but require that helical drive gear be changed, or the speedo
re-calibrated.  Not much you can do without changing speedo internal gears to
get BOTH the speedo and odo correct.  But you can change the Mk II helical
gear during rebuild.

Ask me how I know!  ___
