No, not the kind with the Dice. At cruising speed, 60-65 mph, the view in the rear view mirrow in my '65 small block 365HP roadster looks fine. ( 4:11 rear end 4 speed ) Tachometer reads about 3800 RPM at this sped Bias ply tires - have recently been balanced and the car recently aligned.
However, when I get into the throttle a little heavier, let's say 70 mph or more, there is a drive train vibration that causes the mirror to vibrate and everything begins to look fuzzy. I've done the simple things like check to make sure the mirror is tight and have my eyes tested ! The vibration is not severe enough to cause concern on my part about parts falling off - nor is there any compromise of the drivability - still tracks straight and true down the road.
when I had to work on the clutch this spring I did not mark the driveshaft to make sure i put it back in the same way as it came out. Is there a possiblity the driveshaft needs to be correctly "oriented" to the drive train - that is, should i try simply rotating the drive shaft 90-180 degrees ? The engine runs smooth and there are seemingly no transmission nor rear-end issues.
Short of driving slower ( like that's going to happen ! ) any suggestions ?
