hey guy need a little help here- i searched theough all the tech threads . i got a 57 or 58 olds rearend under my henry j, and ill be damned if i can find a u joint that fits the yolk , ive tried evey one by aplication , been through all my spec books, etc, cant find one. it need s 1.078 capsize, inside clips, aprox 2.50 from clip to clip width. nopthing i find has the correct specs for both cap and width. i started thinking somthing funny is going on but i have a spare yolk that measures the same, so its not wore out or modified, wtf? i nkow lot s of guys are still running theese so what are you doing? i need to built a driveshaft to get this thing on the road soon! any help would surely be appreciated!!
Federal Mogul lists a Precision 234 or 235 for a 57 olds. http://www.power-21.com/federalmogulpower21i/Application.aspx?yr=1957 and you can buy em just about anywhere, Summit, napa etc.
Here is a link to one driveshaft co site that has a pretty good U joint chart. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/index.html Their U joint page complete with ****er numbers that are easily crossed. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/c130_universal_joints.html The closest I can find is for a Dodge. The 7260 series.
Go to fusicks website and call them them they got them in stock and have many other parts for olds stuff.
ihanks, its not a 234 or 235, 7260 dodge joint is close , but way too narrow. kanter gave me the mes of theirs and its not right, ive been through my ****er and precision books and looked by dimension at least 10 times...so far my choice is dennys yolk for 200.00 or maybe fusik.im reallly having a hard time with this...having 2 olds rearens with the same yolks makes it worse as i know it hasent been modified...thanks guys
