That mark is exactly what mine looked like. Looks like two seperate stripes in Orange applied with some type of brush while the shaft was turning.

Anyone think they might know if those stripes would be the same from a 69 Z28 w/ M20? Thanks everyone

I would assume it a universal marking... transmission and engine displacement aside. The marking was originally for inspectors, regardless of engine size/tranny option.

Mosport,
I may be speaking out of turn here as I am refering more to Chevelles but the stripes are not meant for inspectors, they are there for an easy eye reference to line workers to pull the correct shaft from the bins based on the color codes listed on the build sheet. The M-20/21 use a different tail shaft than a Turbo 400 and/or an M-22 and therefor use a different driveshaft flange. The colors are different on the shafts depending on transmission. Also in the case of Chevelles, the engine size may also make a difference since a 454 uses a different shaft than a 396 car. Just trying to clear up a possible misunderstanding.
Rick

Hey! You're the one with the Camaro and that was the specific question. I figured since you were stumped I would chime in.............
