Driveshaft Length - How Long?
Here's the deal...I got a 90 Wrangler that has been lifted and converted from a 4 cyl to a V8 using a 700R4 and an S10 transfer case. The front driveshaft is missing.
How do i figure the proper lenght for a new one? When I look this up in a Jeep catalog, they list 2 lengths - one for the 4cyl and one for the 6.
Well...this being a V8 conversion with a 3" suspension lift levase me stumped!
I can easily measure the at rest lenght U-joint center to center, and jack it up to let the suspension extend and measure that. Not sure how to compress the suspension to measure that?
TIA

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
