John, When I ordered the aluminum driveshaft in my Tempest from Dennys, I
asked him about what type of mounts I should use. I was thinking maybe he
would suggest one of the machined HP caps I had seen. He said new u-bolts.
I doubt there is much difference in strength between u-bolts and straps.
Both do the job and within this post we have learned that "correct" may not
even exist for this application.

With all this talk about u bolts versus strap/bolt configurations, which
is the stronger of the two?

Isn't that the truth - just about the time you think you have something
figured out . . . <G>

Dale,
Like I said in a previous reply, my theory was blown out of the water.
Given what I've seen and experienced, I made the incorrect assumption
that
the larger 1350 U-joints used the U-bolt style yoke. Apparently that's
not
true in all cases. And we also have people that have the U-bolt yoke on
a
10 bolt rear. So it looks like the strap vs. U-bolt yokes do not
correlate
to the type of U-joint. Which means there has to be two different sized
strap style yokes on 12-bolts.
I should know better. When it comes to these cars, there seem to be
exceptions to every commonly accepted rule.

Keith,
I'm confused here (not hard to do). If TH400 and M22 cars used the
larger 1350 u-joints and every one you've seen have a u-bolt, it
contradicts the others with TH400 transmissions and the strap/bolt
configuration.
It gets curiouser and curiouser.
