Does length of the prop shaft on the Sprint differ with and without overdrive, like on the small chassis cars? And what length is the overdrive one, 50"?

Manual non-O/D and O/D Sprint props are the same length. Only the Automatic one is different (an inch or two shorter) 50" is right for a manual car IIRC.

Isn't the auto prop longer; the auto' 'box being slightly shorter than the manual and no adaptor plate being used?

...but yes, 50" is the manual length.
