Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....

One thing's for damn sure...

When I break something, I <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">really</span></span></span> break it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]







I think the car's on the verge of earning a new nickname:

The Quicktime bellhousing is junk too. The one ear on the case that managed to hang on (lower pass. side) bent that mounting tab on the bellhousing.

It's going to be a loooong road back at this rate.

I have seen your EE car, I commented on it before re: how much I liked it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

I'm at a loss on this driveshaft issue other than to conclude that the shaft was just a P.O.S. from the get-go.

My old `67 Chevelle (the one I had before this one) ran 11's on nuts and 10's on the hose with a mild &quot;wanna-be&quot; LS6, 400 Turbo and 4.10 gears. I used a stock driveshaft in it and never had a single problem with it either.

As far as driveline angles go, I am 100% positive they were right--to within 1/2° of perfect as was concurred by two driveshaft shops I'd consulted with just before this shaft let go.

I've no choice at this point to chalk this up to &quot;sh*t happens&quot;.
