" Andy, just pull the 4 nuts off the rear of the drive shaft and wire it to 
" the rubber mount right above the end, to be safe and make sure it doesn't 
" pull out of the trans (whill you are pulling it down the road), you can duck 
" tape it or run wire through the u-joint at the trans end and tie it off to 
" the trans itself.  Doesn't take long, you only need two 1/2 wrench/sockets 
" and a little wire.

won't work.  all americans smaller than 232 had a 'big nut' rear yoke
up through '66.  the u-joint is pressed into place and that nut clamps
the yoke onto the pinion, and it's torqued to 300 ft-lbs if memory
serves me right.  you won't get it loose with a 1/2" wrench!

conventional u-joint setups like you describe appeared with the '65
and '66 232s and finally swept the line in '67.
