I put out an ad on a local Facebook parts group looking for a 727 yoke because I am swapping to an A-500 trans in my 74 Duster this spring. A guy came back to me that he had one for free if I took the driveshaft from a 68 C body with it. Of course I did! When I picked it up, I noticed this heavy ring right behind the driveshaft yoke. In my first google search, the photo below showed up thanks to Extreme Mopars.Com. It calls it an inertia yoke and that makes sense to me.
My question is, if I get this driveshaft shortened to work in my Duster with an A-500, is there any downside, or upside for that matter with using this type of yoke? I figure I might as well shorten this driveshaft that I will almost definitely never have any use for and keep my Small block, 904, 8-1/4 driveshaft up in the rafters for future use.
Any thoughts or opinions out there?
