Alpha U joint

[joseph m. hahnl]

I cant seem to find a decent sticker on my Alpha to get the serial # off it.

It's a 1988 Alpha one.

I'm thinking of purchasing this set of U joints .

These are the Merc part & serial #'s

75832T (http://javascript<b></b>:showPicture('showSpecialPicture.asp?pn=75832T'))--CROSS AND BEARING SN# B-418818 & Below
75832T1 (http://javascript<b></b>:showPicture('showSpecialPicture.asp?pn=75832T1'))--CROSS AND BEARINGSN# B-418819 & Up

What do you think? Will they fit?

Any ideas how to find the serial # on the drive?

I thought the serial number was stamped in the drive housing on the port side just below the top cap?
