82 stang , If your driveshaft is level , it will not live , a ujoint has to have angle, if it has no angle then will not rotate on the needle bearings, hence burning up the bearing. I can provide some info on this if you care to read , just let me know, not trying to be smart , it is just a fact. And you also have to beat the floor board up to get correct driveline angle with a th 350 , and you really have to beat the snot out of it to get a glide in there and maintain , driveline geometry . I fought a vibration in my car for some time till I got the angle correct. Here is a link to a pretty good read on geometry of a driveline www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/Driveline-101.shtml |
