H When Replacing Automatic 3 Hole Cap Screw Hubs, You Must Purchase Corresponding Spindle Nut Conversion Kit

So if you have the Automatic 3 Hole Cap Screw Hubs, then you need to purchase the spindle nut kit. If your front axle was already converted to manual hubs or came from the factory with manual hubs, you do not need it.

Precisely as I have stated... If you have more than 3 holes in the cap on your current auto-hubs, then you should not need the conversion nut kit. Try not to over think it.
