I’m working on a 1966 6 cylinder (small bolt pattern) coupe with a 3 speed manual transmission. I’ve fitted a top loader 3 speed using an Econoline bellhousing (This is a story all by itself!). The original driveshaft has the small 1100 series u-joints. These are 1” caps with around 1.78” spacing between the c clips.

From what I’ve read, there is no conversion joint to make the drive shaft mate to the 1310 joint that the slip yolk takes in the top loader.

What’s the best way to proceed?

The best way to proceed is to use a C5ZZ-B slip yoke. Early C4-equipped 170 and 200 Mustangs had the small driveshaft, and Ford used this yoke to attach the big C4 spline.

 

Sorry for the old thread revival. Are you saying that a 200 6 cylinder car with a C4 uses the same U joint as a 289 car, I. E. The 1310 not the 1100?

What about at the side that mates to the 7.25 rear?

 

Thank you! I’ll post a wanted ad here.

Incredibly rare to find a used one that's not trashed. That's why we asked the manufacturer to make that repro. We couldn't find even a decent used one, let alone new, so we sent them a sample and basically begged. Good move as it turns out, because it's really helpful when converting to a T5 5-speed. Just bite the bullet and buy a new one.

 

Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate your help.
