seems for every rule there is an exception: I was helping assemble a '68 Camaro my son-in-law bought in pieces when I noticed the driveshaft yokes were several degrees out of phase. I explained the importance of proper phasing and had him get another driveshaft. It was the same way! He took it to an old time driveshaft shop and they told him there was nothing wrong with it; that's how those Camaros came from the factory. I was working in a Chevy dealer's shop in '67 when Camaro's came out but never noticed this through the years.

For Oz interest, the tailshaft/driveshaft of an IRS commodore has its yokes not in line .
I guess it has to do with the diff centre being fixed and not changing angularly to the gearbox .
There must be an engineering reason it is better or they would not do it.
