Hello
Need help finding what universal I have and where to get one. Standard looking h-bar driveline. Does not seem to match 1310 or 1350? I don't have a caliper, all measurments are rough:
- 7/16 mount bolts like a 1350
- just over 3 1/4 in wide measuring at outer clip. 3 1/8 cap to cap.
- 1 1/4 cap width.
I appears to be to narrow for 1350 and caps to wide for 1310? Just a standard H-bar driveline from Berkeley drive from a Ford 460. This is so frustrating, finally have the engine and pump overhauled and ready to install - now waiting on this! any advice?

Simple, take an old one to an auto parts store. Any experienced counterman will find the right ones, no problem..........MP

Is this a case of "we don't have boat parts" or just some lazy %&*# that won't take the time to do a little work......Next ask for an actual parts catalog, not the computer, look in the back and you will find a size listing for the u joints. With one in your hand, and a dial caliper you can find the right ones. (The catalog would of course be for u joints and drive line componants.)I'll also venture a guess that Rexone can tell you the #s off the top of his head..........................MP

If you have a Car Quest in town. They can get it. I went through this last summer. I had to get it from the warehouse but they stock it.

Here in Wichita Ks, I go to PDS (Power Drive Services) which specializes in commercial stuf. They have (or can make) Morse cables (not steering), take them a u-joint & they'll size-match it, hydraulic lines, etc.
