Anyone know length of the driveshaft (center of u joint-center of u joint) for a 69 b body (satellite/road runner)
Would one from a satellite with a 904 trans be same length?

Possibly, if they both had 904/same rear axle. I'm assuming you will be going with a 727/4sp & if you have the front yoke for that then butt it all the way into the trans then measure C to C back to the pinion flange then subtract 3/4-7/8" (with rear springs loaded (jack stands under axle not the subframes) and front jacked up also as needed to get it level (moderately level front to rear) so you have room enough to get up under there

One came with a 69 sat. I just bought (318/904/8 1/4 rear) guy said they took it out of differnt sat./road runner. But this one is 7-8 too short. So id like to know what a reg road runner (8 3/4) drive shaft length is to see if that is indeed what the one I have is.

Ralph I ain't sure if there is anything pertinent in the archives or not. I would Google it & try that

A road runner would have a 727 if an auto, so a shorter driveshaft than a 904 equipped B body.

I don't have a '69 FSM, however here are the lengths from the '68 FSM which I would think are the same.
