one more with the tail shaft housing slid back into place to show how far the yoke is into the tranny.

Pics can be deceiving, but from my view your shaft is to short even with your snub nose seal. I see a angle difference between your shaft and housing, Your rear bushing is probably wore out too, adding to that angle.
Add extra shaft pull out on decell, and I see a good chance for shaft wobble on a performance car such as yours. If thats the case your new shaft may be bent now as well.
With your stock springs and loose clamps, Im sure your having alot of axel rotation, Im not 100% positive, but I think you may of found your gremlins.
Short shaft, worn bushing and loose spring wrap control.

You state that you are running a pinion snubber. Pinion snubbers and S/S springs are not to be run together. They will load and unload many times on the track.
Nope, no S/S springs here just standard A body leaf springs.

The old Direct Connection manual said the correct driveshaft length was determined by measuring from the rear of the tailshaft to the center of the rear end yoke bearing cup minus 3.5"
Thank you, that will help me on trying to figure out how short my driveshaft is.
