Hey Gang -
Turns out the 7.25 in my 75 dart is from a much earlier car, maybe a 68 a-body if memory serves correct. The PO did this switch... used to be a built up car, but he scaled it back before selling to me.
So it seems the drive shaft isn't the right shaft for the rearend because the u-joint is off. One direction of it can't accommodate any clips so it can't be properly centered/adjusted properly. The result is that its got some slop and forcing a seal in the rear to spray fluid everywhere.
My question is, can you recommend a part number that might do the trick to fix this? FWIW, the car was a /6 but is now a 318 mated to a 904 floorshift auto. I don't know if they drive shaft is stock. It could be from a /6 or it could be left over from when it was built up to a 360. The 7.25 is from something like a 68. So, any suggestions on what u-joint I could use?
