Gear Vendors OD 727 NIB

Why is the 18 1/2" Tail shaft length important ? Does it matter ? Sorry for my ignorance ! I had a GV unit on my /6 727, and don't remember that measurement being a factor !

does the 18" tailshaft "not" come off when adding the overdrive unit? if not, the driveshaft angle would be a killer , specially on a 108" wheelbase car!
