Just going to go off and leave me at the bottom all by myself. I suppose of all the current weekly racers on here I have the slowest car.

you know what, at the end of the day I am a worm clamp type of a guy . My loyalty is with my sponsor ACME and with Wile Coyote Race team ,I will be staying right where I am.
No matter what your ET is, you are out there doing it .

Some of the guys on the Chevelle forum who are pulling the front tires are running 1310s on their driveshafts.
I was freakin' shocked when I read that.

I think the only difference between a 1310 and the 1330 is the absence of a grease fitting . The 1310 has a fitting and the 1330 does not and the absence of the "hole" in the U joint for the grease fitting is what makes the 1330 stronger. Maybe @Mitch H or someone else can verify that.
 
Maybe i'll remove it and keep it as a weapon to bash future home invading niggers with it. Put a nice 1350 dent in their skulls

But an alum baseball bat is lighter and more nimble

You americans get to own hand guns to protect yourselves... imagine being allowed to actually protect yourself from home intruders in the prison nanny state island :lmao:

Not all of us are allowed to do so, but we do what we need to do.

No, the dimensions are different between 1310 and 1330.
I remember buying Lakewood 10 to 30 conversion joints back in the day.

Yes, the 1330 has the same diameter crosses as the 1310 and the same width as the 1350.
 
Here's a strength chart:

ok, you would know cause you bought them.
Maybe you can buy a 1330 with a grease fitting and with out a grease fitting and the 1330 with out the grease fitting is stronger cause there is no hole and passage ways for the grease to travel through to the caps. That might be what I was thinking/confused about

I agree, no fitting is stronger.

I think it was pulling a 12 bolt out of a junkyard trying to make it work in an original 307ci stock Chevelle driveshaft.

These days we are buying aftermarket everything so going to 1350 is a no brainier.

My opinion on aluminum dshafts that no one asked for, not needed for any class. Steel is stronger and no Et reduction.
You want to go fast, buy carbon fiber and possibly barely any Et reduction.

Anyway, back to subject, I think I'm happy for Fox. Glad it's running and he's moving forward. Kudos to the members that drove to help him with the startup. Best of luck!

For what its worth, I had number one cylinder screwed up on a Ford to in the 80s. It was my first Ford, Lol . Didn't know either. Watch out for Pontiacs!

The trick is doing it so it doesn't see the light of day. Around here we have some lakes, one of which is nearly a grand deep in places. It's cold, too. (Sorry, that's feet, not cm or whatever)--I just looked it up. 1150 feet, or 350 meters, or so
 
Backhoes, front end loaders, excavators, pig farms, we have them all around here.......
Alligators in the deep south..........

Better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6.

There will be no burnouts for awhile so we can sidetrack his thread for a bit........ :)
