I am reinstalling the driveshaft on my 1966 V8 Auto Mustang and I have a few questions.
First, where can I buy the transmission rear seal where the driveshaft goes into it? And is there a certain size or part number for the seal? I do not have the original.
I know I need to replace at least one of the universal joints (the rear one). It fell apart and some of the pins came out. Where can I buy the universal joint and does anyone know the part number or how to measure for the correct one? Should I replace the front one while I'm at it even though there is nothing wrong with it?
Finally, how do I drain and fill the differential oil? I'm assuming there is still oil in there, but the car has not been driven for about 20 years so I can't be sure. I see a plug on the back. Is this for draining and filling? Does the whole rear axle need to be disconnected?
Any other suggestions or tips are welcome!
Thanks,
Carl
