Default Alum DriveShaft Help

[URL="https://mustangforums.com/forum/members/bswanto-albums-car-picture51891-driveshaft.html"] 91 V8 Coupe T-5

I installed a new ford racing alum driveshaft and the spacing between the yoke and the tail shaft seems wrong. It just barely touches the seal when car is sitting on the ground. Does this seam right?

that black rubber cover is not the seal, even though it is made onto the oem seal , all it is , is a dust cover/protector, you're fine

Good I was worried about it binding. Without taking the driveshaft off how far does the output shaft extend past the tail housing end. Didnt really look that close when installing. If it is flush then im not worried. Just still seems to close.
