Hi all!
After almost 6 years I installed the engine and transmission back onto the frame of my 73 corvette with the body still off. However, when I wanted to install the driveshaft it did not fit between the transmission and the differential.
Up to now I could not find any information if that is normal, if the driveshaft can only be easily installed with the body on cause of the added weight and with that changed geometry of the drive system. I measured the driveshaft, it is 29.5 inches long (from centre to center of the u-joints) which I believe is correct.
What I am afraid off is that something else than the driveshaft could be wrong although I would not know what that could be. Transmission and differential sit tight in their spots.
Thanks for any hints, tips and ideas!
