Chevy u joint
« on: June 20, 2015, 10:55:45 PM »
My car is a 76 monte with a 8 1/2 rear. I can't find the right caps. The stock one at the auto parts store have clips and are too big. My old ones don't have c clip. Any ideas?

Prior to 1973 mid size GM u-joints used a clip on the outside of the u-joint.   It was shaped like the letter e.  1973 and later GM mid sized cars used clip on the inside of the cap shaped like a C.  It sounds like some one put an older shaft in your car.  Try a joint for a 70 Chevelle.

they make conversion joints for the mixed set ups.
