69 Camaro Driveshaft Marking??

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.

What's the difference between a TH350 and a manual tranny drive shaft?

My car was originally a TH350, and I converted to an M21, but used the original driveshaft. I haven't had any mechanical problems, but is one brewing?

If I am correct, the Turbo 350 shares output shaft splines with the M-20 and M-21. The Turbo 400 shares the splines with the M-22. That is the only difference I am aware of.

The difference is in the lengths of the shaft, and possibly the position of the yokes on each end in relation to each other. I'm pretty sure the TH400 shaft is shorter than the others, the muncie/PG ones are a little longer, and the TH350 is the longest.

Boy I was just put in my place. I wonder where I got that from? I guess that was a figment of my imagination or someone told me the wrong information. Sorry about that guys.

Learn something new everyday.

The Z28 had a faded orange stripe like yours Darren. I should have a picture around here somewhere... (???)

Cool. Find it. FYI mine is yellow and orange...

Darren,
The stripes on my LA built M21 Z are white/orange.

That's not true in 69. Only 1970 M22's had that output shaft, all 71+ Muncies had it.

Kurt,
You are correct and sorry for misleading anyone. Sometimes when I eat, drink and sleep 70 Chevelles I get tunnel vision. Thanks for clarifying.
