    drive shaft

     



    I take a transmission yoke. tape measure and calipers to the bone yard and go thru the drive shaft rack before i cut--make a new shaft.. several times i have found one that would work...Also i always look for a shaft with no or only a small balance weight... less chance of getting vibration if you have to cut it..

    I have the Falcon for a high performance car, after I put it all back togther .

    Rambler will have a deffinet HP increase along with the better MPG. the 196 was 120 HP stock using the pre '71 standards, and it's deffinetly worn out.. IIRC the 5.0 EFI engine is 160 HP. should move it along nicely
