look for weights or orientation marks with the drive shaft and the tranny yoke.....could be paint marks...could be stamped....could be a welded tag....it needs to be balanced so it does have a proper orientation with the tranny yoke...

driveshaft blues
this probably won't help, but the manual driveshaft i'm getting ready to put in my 1981 (w/the Muncie), and the automatic driveshaft that is currently residing in the car; both have a silver colored sticker that originally had some kind of ID number. On both, the silver stripe is on the Transmission end.
On the 80, (the junk car the manual driveshaft came from)there are two different sizes of U joints with the largest being on the trans end.
good luck, jim
