Aftermath

The complete opposite.
Your doing everything right.
Your asking for help. 

[cjshaker]

I actually hesitated a day before saying anything because I didn't want to seem like I was nit picking on you. But since you are heading in a more performance oriented direction, I thought I'd point it out before it got to be an issue. Working on commercial type mowers at work, I've dealt with many issues stemming from splined shafts that don't fully engage, and we're only talking about 50-80 horsepower there..lol

The heat and humidity have been a little brutal here as well, 90+ degree heat and 70-80% humidity. It gets to everybody after a while. And Ross is right, if nobody cared, we wouldn't say anything..lol  It's easy to get defensive and feel like you're not doing anything right. Been there myself, until I relaxed and realized guys were only trying to help me. Keep up the good work...and take out that rubber, lmao!!
Just razzing you on that one 

[Nightmist66]

I apologize again guys. I didn't mean to get defensive. I know you're trying to help. I'm still gonna blame the heat.

Doug, I will get the next driveshaft closer. Next time I'll just take any frustration out on the tires. Provided the new rockers hold up....

Jared that car is so screwed up you should just bring it over and I'll get rid off it for you.

I think the reason for the concern about your yoke is that there seems to be a rule of thumb to be able to push the yoke in about an inch or so before it bottoms out after the driveshaft is installed to give maximum spline engagement and still leave space for movement.  I guess how much of the yoke remains visible though depends on your yoke and I'm sure not all are the same length but the yokes from Strange and MW leave about an inch of the neck visible when seated.



If you end up changing yokes in the future, you might have to move your driveshaft safety loop to keep it within regs if you take it to the track.  Not that I've ever seen an inspector actually crawl under a car to check.  LOL

Funny, you're not the first one to tell me that. You'll have to get in line.....

Thanks for the pic afret, that's a nice setup you have.

I won't get too worried for a while on the safety loop, the track I race at isn't the most strict to say the least.

Curious about your new plan.
Different transmission?

Hell I'll come get it for you and take it off your hands 
Love the way those wheels look on that thing and the stance..

Different transmission?

And motor, driveshaft, clutch,  scattershield, front disc conversion, couple front suspension/steering items I ran out of time and money for before, subframe connectors,  and oh, remove the rubber insulators for the rear end.

It will be down for a bit to bring all this together, but then again, it seems like it's always down for maintenance.

[Nightmist66]

Thanks Keith, for the compliment, not the offer.

Here are a couple pics for fun

[fekbmax]

Sweet !!!

[ScotiaFE]

Very Nice Jared!

So which trans are going to?
There is a very high probability that I may be a transmission hoarder.

[Nightmist66]

Howie, I was thinking of taking my old wide box and turning it into a big in/out and have Liberty or someone faceplate 2,3, and 4. I still want to run my Hurst h pattern shifter. Essentially, a poor boy Jerico.

I'm guessing you may have originally had a long yoke on the third member that has been replaced with a short yoke. There is a couple inches difference between them.
