The paragraph below is from an article in the Feb 2009 issue of Chevy Hi Performance on how to install an 800-series box in a 64-77 Chevelle. It lists two sizes of splines -- one for a "late" box and one for an earlier box. The 800 Saginaw box I have lying around (66 G-body) has the 13/16 in./36 spline shaft. That shaft uses the Woodward 104 u-joint end (.820 in.). A link to the article is also listed below.
Quote from the article: "Late-model steering boxes also utilize a ¾-inch, 30-spline stub shaft, while early boxes are equipped with a 36-spline, 13/16-inch shaft. Lee offers a steering coupler (as known as a rag joint), which has the late 30-spline count with the proper bolt spacing to line up with the early steering columns. To use this coupler, you will need to drill out one of the bolt holes in the steering column to 3/8 inch. On the early columns, both attaching holes are 5/16 inch."
Hope this helps.
