Few weekends ago I had a u joint snap at 106 mph at the track. It broke on the slip yoke and the rate at which the shaft was spinning tore up the shaft in the safety loop and messed up the bearing cap eyelet on the slip yoke. Found a used shaft but now I can't find a slip yoke. Buddy of mine gave me a "cam798" he said he had laying around from another friends build. Only problem is I can't find a u joint to match that and my driveshaft. I ordered two 5-3147x spicers which are good for stock but it won't fit this "cam798" we measured with micrometer and got 1.16 or 1.18 (can't remember 100%) bearing cap size. Thought it was a 1310 with a bit of research so I ordered a neapco 3-3130. I got it in today and one side fits the stock 3R but the other side which was supposed to be bigger is actually smaller than the stock bearing cap. Don't know if this is correct or they sent me the wrong part.

BLUF what u joint do I need to mate to this "cam798" to make it work with a stock aluminum driveshaft. I tried researching the slip yoke but cant find anything about it other than it is a PST product. Thanks in advance.

Okay, so since I can't find out anything out about this cam798 yoke. I got a used yoke. It has a bit of surface rust from sitting outside the tranny so I soaked it in vinegar over night and removed all the surface rust. I sanded the outside of the shaft with wd-40 and 200 to 500 to 1000 grit. In first picture the yoke on left is the one I cleaned and the one on the right is my old original that was damaged. Not catching anything with fingernail when I run along it but I see tiny pits in it (second picture). Is it still okay to use or don't risk it?

Sorry I'm a couple years late but a CAM 798 uses a 1350 series U joint.
