that pic is not a '66 bus nor a '66 jack.

the one that you need is the second from the right in this picture. note the size of the indent on the peg that goes in the jack point. it is smaller on the split bus jack over an early bay window jack. (which is pictured on far right) overall their size and function is pretty much the same.

You want #5 as Lind said above - "second from the right"

Another photo, Split Bus jack on top

Notice the following features:
1. The indent on the arm that folds out is smaller than the Bay Window jack
2. It does not have the extra little triangle on the arm like the Bay Window jack on the bottom

But in some replies they are talking about letters on the Doghouse.
What is the difference?
