1968 Dodge Charger Drive Shaft Measurement

[Yellow Charger]

I have a 8.75 rear end with a 904 transmission and a 318 engine.  What is the proper method for measuring the length of a 1968 Dodge Charger Drive Shaft without the yoke?  Secondly, as long as the universal joints will match up to the yoke, do I need to be concerned about the length of the yoke?  Thanks!

Drive shafts are always measured between the center of the u-joint cups. There is a specific dimension that the slip yoke should extend from the tail housing with the car sitting on its own weight.

Wow...he actually chimed in to help someone rather than to be a pain in the ass.
That is great!
