I need information on driveshaft length for this car. It's a 4 speed car but is lacking a driveshaft. Information on either getting one built or finding a replacement would be handy.

I believe a driveshaft from a standard cutlass with smallblock and turbo 350 is a direct swap....prob from years 68 to 72....Someone correct me if Im wrong.

Second, the automatic driveshafts use two concentric tubes with rubber in between. The manual trans driveshafts are solid.

My car is a Four speed so I would need the solid driveshaft. Is the measurment from transmission yoke to rear end yoke. By yoke I mean the saddle that holds the universal joint. I think OPG had the transmission output yoke.

Even though your car is a stick the rubber connected driveshaft will work just fine for a street car and will be much easier to find. Also note that the yoke from a turbo 400 car is too large to fit the turbo 350, Jetaway, or Muncie.
