Re: [AMC-List] 232 Trans into a '64 American..

[Mark Price <markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Non big nut Americans share that Ujoint with things as obscure as 77 Pinto wagons!
Imagine my delight to discover that the Pinto shaft is bolt into a T5 swap in an American with an AMC15 rear axle! It would have been a true bolt in, except I had to swap the trans yoke to the AMC T5 version. Same exact Ujoint on both. The Pinto shaft is even larger diameter! $20 for the used shaft sure beat the cost of having one made.
