TR6 Goodparts Nissan differential swap

[Keith Cantley]

I am doing the differential swap with the shortened driveshaft from Goodparts. I know the old driveshaft had the slipjoint in the front but does the new driveshaft install the same way. There is an arrow stamped on the new one that has me confused and Richard Good is MIA at this time so I can't ask him.
Thanks to all

I am no help on the question, but let us know how the install goes as well as the results, I have considered this one myself after having had one somewhat noisy diff replaced by another noisy diff in my car.

The only reason I can think of for an arrow would be to show how align the splines to keep the u-joints are in phase. Where's the arrow at and where does it point?

Thanks for the replies. I will keep posting on the differential swap. I have done the triple 175 carbs, headers and differential from Goodparts and now the uprated hubs and axles. I started with a pretty good tub and frame but everything else on the car was trash. And yes the arrow was meant to align the shaft.
Richard Good called today and answered all my dumb questions. All of his parts are really top notch.
