Differences in 34 and 35 torque tubes.

What is the difference in a 34 and a 35 torque tube?
I always see 35 torque tubes being used for lake style headers, etc.
I have a damaged 34 tube available and would need 1 more, if these would work.

Thanks

 

The 35-36 drive shafts go from small diameter on each end larger center... the 33-34 is a straight tube... the driveshafts are a heavier go that after market tubes but work well

 

It's not the torque tube that is used for the headers, it is the driveshaft inside the tube. As mentioned, the 33-4 driveshaft is straight tube, while the 35-6 shaft tapers from small to large and back to small again.

This is a 35-36 part.

 

Thanks for the education, that was painless.

 

Always thought the same erronious thing, been saving a 34 torque tube for years.

 

I guess you COULD us the torque tubes instead of half a tubular drive shaft. They're bigger and not as aesthetically pleasing but I've seen a lot of track roadsters and hardtop stockers back in the '50s using the torque tubes. They sure made the old flatheads sing in a baritone.

 

Gonna use mine on a 4 cylinder T, with a muffler inside.

 

In Michigan - 50's/60's I remember them called 'bellow tubes' when used as exhaust.
