Measurement for driveshaft

[69clone]

Hey everyone, I was hoping someone might have the details off hand of what I'm going to need to order a custom drive shaft to fit my 69' satellite with a 440/727/ 8.75 rear? I know its 51.5" long but I'm clueless on the rest. :book1: Anyone used Carolina Driveline? http://carolinadriveline.com/uploads/Default.asp?Category=103
Thanks guys,

Does your 51.5" account for proper slip yoke engagement? Also the weld yokes on MoPar shafts should be in phase.

Meep...By "in phase" I take it you mean orientated in the same position (o'clock)? Don't want to make assumptions. Got to get a driveshaft made/mod myself, so wondering just like 69clone.

Thanks wannadrag, I'll check with them.
The problem is the engine/trans isn't in the car so I can't go out and take measurements from what I gathered the length for the shaft is 51.5" according to google. But I have no idea on anything else thats why I was hoping maybe someone would know or recently had one done with the same combo. I take it a shop isn't as knowledgeable as you guys if I asked them and they tell me to come back when I have it figured out...

a 1969 drive shaft that fits a big block auto or manual trans and a 8 3/4 rear is 51.50" measured from the center of the ujoint caps. the type is 7290

Yes, by in phase I mean the weld yokes are a mirror image. If you zero a bubble level across a flat surface of one yoke it should be the same on the other. This is because there is no side to side offset in the MoPar drive line. Only up and down.

I thought we had a pretty good offset to the passenger side for the engine. No?
