The 661 trans all came with the 26 spline input and 32 spline output to reduce needed parts and inventory for GM. I would think many 660 trans were replaced with the 661 later on to gain the strength of the fine spline and larger output yoke. There certainly may have been late assembly line 661's installed as the stock of 660's ran out, to keep the line moving. Not unusual for that to happen in a changeover year. How many and when would be for better informed people than me.
My Feb built '70 LS5 Chevelle came with a 660 case, but as an M22, it had the 26/32 parts in it.
