How long is the driveshaft in a 66 coronet u joint center to center with a big block 727 8.75? I need a measurement so I can determine how much my spring and hanger package changed my wheelbase so i can have an adjusted one cut. I dont have a stocker to start with. I will figure wheelbase plus or minus and add or subtract from a stock length. i hope yawl understand what im saying
 
I looked it up in some of my books and got some confusing answers, but here goes anyway.
According to Galen Govier's "White Books".
3" diameter X 52.28 with automatic and 8 3/4 and a hemi.
The thing that is confusing is under the trans. column he has AT, MT and BH and I'm not sure what BH stands for, both?, but the word "both" is spelled out in other columns.
Here is another example, 2.75 X 52.28 with BH and 8 3/4 listed for all v-8's.
There are several different lengths depending on trans. type and they also differ more by year than I thought they would.
Get back with me and I'll see if I can help more.
