another U-joint question
Ok, I already read that you should have the non greasable U-joints from Spicer. I found out to late, but better now than never.
I hear people talk about 1310's, 1330's and 1350's. What is the difference between them and will all of them fit in the standard shafts of the C3.
Thanks

The 1310, 1330, and 1350 is a universal language referring to the size of the u-joint. The first two are usually used on driveshafts depending on your year Corvette and transmission type. The 1350 size is mainly for your half shafts with some auto tranny cars having the smaller 1330 size. The Viper is one of the only cars to use the 1350 on their driveshafts.

and for aluminum driveshafts and halfshafts (as in the newer Corvettes)....these Spicers have the coated caps needed to prevent galvanic corrosion.
1310=5-786x
1330=5-791x
1350=5-800x
These Spicer joints that Van Steel and I are mentioning are regarded as the best in the business. Van Steels numbers are the ones to use in Corvettes up to 1982. The ones I just gave out are for 1984 and up.
