1967 Barracuda Driveshaft length a904/8 3/4
That sounds like a Dart shaft. Doesn't the Barracuda have a shorter wheel base? like 108" vs Dart at 111"?
Dart has a 54.6' shaft (just confirmed on my 67 Dart) with the 7 1/4 and barracuda's 7 1/4 shaft Slantsix64 measured 51.6, that is 3 inches shorter just like the wheelbase.
52 1/2 is longer than Slantsix64's 7 1/4 shaft and the 8 3/4 is longer than the 7 1/4 from axle center-line to U-joint center-line by about 2 1/4 inches so the shaft would need to be shorter by similar amount.
I'm no expert and may be missing something here.
On a side note the Valiant has a 108 wheelbase and in my 67 parts book it calls for a 49.58" shaft with the 8 3/4
( V1 & L1 are Valiant and Dart \6 ----- V2 & L2 are Valiant & Dart V8)
Oddly in this parts book the Barracuda is not listed.
This is from the 1967 Plymouth Supplement shop manual and is specific to Barracuda:
