@commando1
I agreed with your comment on that...

I haven't commented. Till now.

Then the question that begs to be answered is " how does that angle get out of whack"?
The transmission and engine are set by the mounts. The gear housing is set by the rear tube and springs.
What am I missing?

@commando1 You are correct
It was Dave who asked how can it get out of whack. So I guess I agree with his comment with an *

FWIW, I had a driveshaft vibration in my A12 Roadrunner that was driving me nuts. (it's a short drive)

Turned out that I had twisted the shaft just enough that the U-joints were slightly out of alignment. The local driveshaft shop was supposed to build me a brand new one, but instead they shortened another shaft. It was cheaper and I went for it, but I twisted that one too. Little too much torque... LOL.

Critter, how many miles have you put on this beauty?

When I took it for a drive last month it had 1100 I believe. Derek is definitely spending more time behind the wheel which is great to see...

He put on about 250 today, and he's not shy about pushing that pedal down. I was running about 100mph a few times keeping up with him and the whole group.

This is not the 100 run...

Get it out and let it stretch it's legs some. I guess the 100 mph will do it.

Did you wash it off, or did you save it as a badge of honour?

I get a similar vibration in my ‘68 Polara. Every thing is smooth until I hit 80 mph and then I get a resonance/ vibration. I rotated my tires around and it did not change. Next step is probably the drive shaft. Earlier this summer It seemed like the vibration was happening at around 70, one of my new U-joints after just 2,000 miles was shot. I was getting about 1/16 - 1/8” of radial play. I replaced it and was good until somewhere between 80 & 85. I do have a few gravel road dings in my drive shaft so maybe it is a little off balance. It seems my angles are fine.
Bone stock as well. Am looking forward to what you May find.

Fixed my vibration issue. It was my drive shaft being a little bent. They re-straightend and re-balanced it. Vibration totally went away and is even much quieter at cruising speed.
Drive Line Angle will drive you crazy
