I could not find this answer in the archives other than there is 1"-2" play in driveshaft length due to suspension changes.
I am replacing the pg in my '61 with a 2004R and need to set driveshaft angle. The pinion angle is set by the factory but now with the need to change the slip yoke to a 27 tooth and adjusting engine and trans to allow for clearance for the 2004R I need to get a proper driveshaft angle. I also need to determine the correct length of the yoke and/or the driveshaft.
If I raise the rear axle up to the rubber bumpers and lower the axle to rest on the rebound straps how much clearance should there be between end of yoke shaft and the end of the output shaft at the max and min positions of the axle to avoid the driveshaft from contacting the trans? I am assuming the engine and trans will not change because of the mounts at front and rear of the drive train once the trans mount location is determined.
It seems that I won't be able to change the angle much but I do want to get it set as I can.
I hope you understand what I am looking for. Any suggestions?
Thanks
