Re: TKO 600 in '61 Corvette

I picked up the driveshaft yesterday am and installed it. Sunny but cold day. Took her out for a test run and everything went well. Clutch engagement is super smooth with the newly surfaced flywheel and new clutch. Transmission worked perfectly. The speedometer gear they sent me is spot on when checked with my portable gps. They charged me $169 to shorten and balance my old shaft. I provided the 31 spline yoke ($96). Yoke was a 1330 joint so the shortened from the front so that I didn’t have an adapter joint (1310/1330) Two new joints so I guess it was fairly reasonable.
