Driveshaft ?
Looking at driveshafts the 2" is for standard and 2.5 for autos? 1968 to 76 is different then 1971 thru 79

So u joint for 75 2.5 shaft auto originally 1330? Or 1310? I asking because sometimes it's really hard to get the caps to seat. Could that be because of the approx 1/2" difference

If I'm reading my Corvette Parts Book correctly, driveshafts break down as follows.
All 63-67's used the 2" driveshaft. 68 and 69 with manual trans also used the 2" driveshaft.
68-76 with the Turbo 400 used the 2 1/2" driveshaft, and so did 70-79 4 speeds.
