alaska, thanks for the info.......... so what your saying is; the number should be about 18 - 20" from the front U-joint (the end that goes to the transmission)..... got it. now that we have taken care of that, say you would have the driveshaft removed from the car and standing up with the slip yoke end pointing up towards the ceiling how would the number read, upright or upside down. Sorry about being an a$$ but I just had a new driveshaft made and just want to get all the numbers and markings correct.

Thanks, BUZZ
