Been looking around the site for the correct U-Joints and wound up more bewildered than I started. The following was true to my 71 AM General.
The Precision 332 was used for the intermediate shaft between the tranny and transfer case. It was purchased at a HI/LO O'Reilleys auto parts store. The numbers should be good at Advanced Auto supply as well. I had to look up the part myself as the guys behind the counter had glassed over eyes when I asked them for a part number conversion book. Although the box shows Precision 332, the part number to use at either store is "3-0055". I purchased them at Oriellys because they could get them the next day, Advanced Auto would have been a week. Napa, walk in and tell them a 332 and they will hand you a c-clipped u-joint, make sure to take the old one in with you...you need the bearing plate style. Napa was an overnight order as well and was 10 bucks more than the other two.
The Precision 330 was used for the propshafts running from the transfer case to the front STEERING axle and from the FRONT axle to the REAR axle. These are c-clips. I had no problem with these at any of the parts houses I came across. With them either instock or available the next morning.
Your mileage may differ in your area...
I have the propshaft from the transfer case to the front axle in the shop as I could not get the old bearing plate style joints out. Will let you know about them next week.
