Not sure about 69 models, but for an 82 that I had, there were 3 versions, each with a different first gear ratio. The lowest ratio was for the 250 six because it needed lots of torque multiplication. The next was for the 305 and 292, and the tallest was for the 350 which would handle more torque. You wouldn't want to use the 250-six trans behind a 350. BTW, 2nd gear was also different for each trans to span the different gaps between 1st and 3rd.
Useless information?
