66 Driveshaft paint rings

[Edward S.]

Can someone tell me about the orange and green rings painted on the yoke end of the 1966 drive shaft. How wide are the rings? How far back are they from the weld? Whats the distance between the rings? What color is closest to the yoke? Then last of all, what about the colors themselves? Are they light orange, dark orange? Dark green, lime green?
Thanks for any help and replys. Ed

Ed, the front driveshaft ring is orange and the rear driveshaft ring is green. The ring spacing is 3/4", the front ring width is 1/4", the rear ring width is 1/4", and the distance from the weld to stripe is 3 7/8 from front. As far as the tints of orange and green Quanta colors are decent.

Markings were not an exact science and not all had rings. In fact, the Quanta tech. sheets are wrong regarding driveshaft markings.
