Tech Questionroger clark, strum, WI, 1964 dodge polara 413 I am putting a 4 speed in my Polara using a trans with a yoke
style drive shaft ('68-69) instead of the older flat flange style would you
happen to know the length of drive shaft I need? I'm on a tight schedule and
would like to have the driveshaft ready when I put the motor back in. This is a slippery slope since the '64 Dodge was never built using the slip-yoke type of front U-joint. The '65 parts book (1965 first year for slip-yoke propshafts) gave these dimensions for all body style Coronets except wagons: 318, 361, 383, 3-spd. manual...... 54-3/8"318, 361, 383, 426-S, T/Flite..... 54-3/8" 361, 383, 426-S, A833............. 54-3/4" Hemi, A833........................ 53" Hemi, T/Flite..................... 53" Since '65 Coronets were 116" WB, and your '64 Polara was 119", you'd want to add 3" to each of those dimensions. Still, refer back to my first sentence. I'd sure rather measure! Rick
