I checked the pinion angle relative to the tranny mainshaft centerline when I first broke it.

Hmm, this looks less than ideal. Jackstands under rear axle.

I wouldn't want the shaft any shorter than that, mine the boot is about a 1/4 inch away from the very beginning of the radius, from the point you are showing how far will the yoke slip into the housing till it bottom's out?
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Got a chance to play in the garage today. Unbolted the shaft and drove it all the way in. Looks like I am 1.5" from bottomed out.

The shaft is definately going in to check balance, think I should lengthen it .5-.75" while I'm there?

how will they LENGTHEN it ???

I think they talk dirty to it.
I figure they would cut the ends off and weld them to an new tube?? Perhaps its better to just make a new one....

Not very impressive if it will only GROW a 1/2 "
as long as the yokes are good they can just put them on a new tube

Let me wake this thread from the dead now that I got the rebuilt tranny/engine back in the car.
First off, the 2" measurement above is actually a little bit more. Maybe 2-1/8th. Its 2" when it was broken and must have had a gap.
Secondly, I verified the output shaft is straight on v blocks.
Third, I did find a truck tail and its very beefy but I still think I have a bad situation going on.
One thing that was really eating at me was why did I make a shaft that short?? I'm not that dumb, I wouldn't have ordered it like that. And why did it end up to be the OE length for my application but still be that far out??
One thing popped in my head. When I first ordered it I had an A body A833 in the car and now it has a 904. While the OAL of a 4 speed and a 904 is practically the same, I did have to buy a new slip yoke for the smaller 904 output.
Perhaps the aftermarket yoke is different than others???

Probably too late
In a drag car there is no way I would go to that diamention, thats basically going 1.6" out, that number is based on a production car that was ment to have a ton of travel.... 3/4" - 1" is fine

New shaft on its way. Should yeild 3/4-1" of pullout when all set.
I guess the stackup of differences of the 904 vs A833 coupled with the change in 29 to 26 spline yokes, plus swapping a stock mopar 7260 pinion yoke for a 1330 spicer yoke just didn't work in my favor.
