69 Camaro Driveshaft Marking??

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.

My thought exactly Rick.

There were three driveshafts in 69 Camaros:
manual (SB&BB) & PG
TH350
TH400

That's it.

OK Kurt. So what are the three stripe combinations?

I have some of them noted, but haven't tried to reconcile the data. Some stripes rust off first, so the data isn't always consistent... Low on my project list.
