This is the U Joint choices for an 88 C-4 Corvette.

They list the steel and aluminum driveshafts different but both use what amounts to a 1310 series U joint

A 74/77 Nova driveshaft is 52 inches center to center of U joints and should take the 1310 U Joint if what I am finding is right. How close does that come?

I've had to use combination joints a number of time and really am not a fan. They are comparatively expensive and can be hard to find on the road if you have one go bad.

Speedway sells a rather spendy 80 something bucks front yoke for a 700R4 in a Nova.

I'm thinking that you are going to have to swap ends on a driveshaft if you want to use a used one and go cheap.
