Pic from the WWMC site. I believe that Brain did this car if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for the reply. The car is a 4 speed,69 Rally Green Yenko.I put on the inspection marks, but didn't have the one for the driveshaft. My buddy's 375HP 396 has two orange rings, but I don't think that is right for my car.

Thanks again.

Mark you know that a car is never done. See you next weekend.

Baldy.

I'm not the expert on markings, but so far I've only seen one driveshaft used on all manual trans cars (but I've only seen one broadcast sheet for a BB manual car and that box was hard to read). If so, then it's the same as a Z.

Auto's are different for sure.

Quick sanity check. Who has a known original driveshaft for a 69 BB 4 speed that we can measure the length to compare to a SB manual / powerglide part? I have the SB part.

Baldy,
How about we compare centerline of U-joint to centerline of U-joint (same as front edge to front edge)? A measurement others have used, easy to measure and for others to repeat.
My 2 driveshafts both measure 49 9/16 inches.
