Any of you all Ford freeks?  I'm looking for a "used" or cheap "Y" type yoke
- like is one the Bricklin - for a Ford 9" rear end pinion shaft.


There are apparently 2 different pieces for the Fords.  One is a flat disk 
that the drive shaft bolts to, the other is the same "Y" type yoke that is
on the AMC.  I haven't pulled the "flange" off the Ford rear end to count
the splines, but I've been told that all Ford 9" rear end have the same #
of splines.  I also got the impression that there is only one "Y" yoke for
the 9" rears.  Apparently there are come "standards" when it comes to the U 
joints.  So I think that the yoke for the Ford will hold the U joints of the 
Bricklins drive shaft.

Is that clear as mud?
