U-Joint help for 1982 Corvette CE
Hey guys!
I need help finding the correct U-Joints for my CE's driveshaft. Everywhere I look they (Auto Zone/Advance Auto) show the dimensions 3.625" from end of cap to end of cap. But mine are smaller, like 3 1/4" end to end. What's the deal? Is this an odd duck that nobody has this size?
Thanks for your help in advance... A part number would be great if anyone knows of one.

I purchased from Rockauto, used Moog. Ordered the incorrect ones first. The drive shaft U Joints are smaller than the half shafts, I replaced them also.
Moog 254 (1.06 in bearing cap diameter) is the drive shaft - need 2
Moog 231 (1.188 in bearing cap diameter) is the half shafts - need 4
You may want to check the condition of the ubolts, etc. Also on the half shafts there is a thin metal piece that prevents the bolts from backing out on the wheel side. Rock auto has all of these.
This was for my 78 Pace Car. I would assume yours would be the same, but best to check.
