I've broken tailshaft housings from a twisted shaft that wasn't visible just looking at it. Happened on my 4th pass, on this combo. Didn't feel a thing until I pulled 3rd gear. Yes it shook the car hard. Scratched up the tunnel in the car. I drove it back to the trailer, and didn't feel anything then. Noticed it when I was looking things over. 69 GTX 68 Road Runner

Is it the camera angle, or do I see lots of down pinion angle being used here? Camera angle. Car is only jacked up in the rear. The bent part looks like it is lined up with the pinion and the driveshaft is running uphill to the trans is why I was asking. Almost looks like the driveshaft wasn't happy with whatever was going on there. I never liked aluminum anything on the driveshaft.....This just reinforces my opinion. 67 Barracuda street/bracket car 11.27-119 68 Dart 502 BB 8.70s-152 414 cid SB Dragster 7.65-174
