Re: color code for drive shaft
x44d80.... When I cleaned up the drive shaft on my COPO Camaro it had red, green, blue. I'm assuming it was the original driveshaft, so when we restored the car, we put the stripes back on. Can any confirm these are the right colours??? Oh ya.... turbo 400 car.

Re: color code for drive shaft
Did you sand it or did you use a non solvent based cleaner? I used a wax and grease remover and they popped right up. Most of the marks I have found to be within the first two feet of the trans yoke. Except on my 71 pg 307.

Re: color code for drive shaft
I am glad I posted the picture now. There does seem to be a brown stripe there, guess I did not consider that on first inspection.
On this car everything on the undercarriage had been "chassis blacked". The only way I even suspected that there were stripes there is because there was a smooth spot that had not been effected by rust. So, I got out the 600 and started wet sanding, The best I could do was what you see in the picture. Mike

I used a degreaser solvent and some steel wool.. maybe I am missing something or just can't quite find them or they are too light now to see.. Who knows?? I would like to duplicate them if I know the right color coding.. Rich

Re: color code for drive shaft
I know a guy who has an original 350hp 396 th400. Maybe he will let me take a look at it. Most of what I have are 6 banger stripes and a 307 pg. I just found them on the shafts this weekend. Although, my 69 Nova pg car had Green, Brown and Orange.
