For what it's worth, the ones you bought are the same ones that I had the problem with. According to "Pontiac Heavy-Duty Parts and Specs" by Craig Hendrickson and Kern Osterstock the length for 61-67, all V8 is 8.715. 1967 GTO and 68-79 all V8 is 9.145, Again I urge you to have the machinist measure for the correct length before you order. Here's a picture of what happened to mine.
