Which !0 bolt Good one 8.5 or the same as stocker 8.20 oe the weak 7.5. All rhe 7.5 and some of the 8.5 require a conversion joint at a minimum. I did not change shaft with a 12 Bolt, bot had to shorten it when I switched to a 57 Olds 9.3.

Charlie, best thing to do would be to install it and measure. Or you could measure both from the center of the housing to the center of the u-joint.
