Start with the following information:
Is the rear end a 1310 or a 1350 pinion yoke?
You will need to measure the bearing diameter and overall width..
OR better yet, order this:

The reason I know this is because my rear end is out of a 78 Camaro (larger corporate 8.5 ring and pinion) and was narrowed to fit my car. The pinion yoke on the rear end roughly the same size as a 1350 yoke. Now, I had to massage the cups on the yoke to fit the u-joint listed above but it works.
I do have to mention this. The overall width for the driveshaft is a little narrower than that of the U-joint by a couple of milimeters. Just ensure you don't grease it up before you install it. BUT definitely grease it after the installation of the driveshaft. Getting those snap rings in will be a little fun..
I researched this for 3 days straight and finally after talking to a couple of local gear heads, they led me to a universal joint specifically used in situations like mine.
Also, the Ford Galaxie 500 (68-70 era and a little later) came from the factory with a dual sized U-joint. If you were to go to Auto Zone web site and put that information in, you will see that there are a couple that are close to fitting but, not as close as the one from NAPA. In doing my research, I 've also found that some Ford trucks are still running the dual sized u-joints but I can't remember up to what year it stopped.
Hope this helps..

So? You can't measure both joints?
Your result is only as good as the information you provide.
NO! I'm not gonna research what a 69 Firebird came with.
(Don;t mean to come off harsh, this is how it is.)

That is a 1310. Yoke sounds like a 1330.
You probably won't ever find 1350 size on any older production car.

Length Between Outside Snap Rings Axis 1 (in): 3.21
Bearing Cap Diameter Axis 1 (in): 1.062
Those are measurements for a U-joint that would fit a 68 Firebird.
Your measurement of 3.58, is that from end to end or from the internal stop to internal stop tab on the yoke?
Don't worry, I will provide FREE information without being harsh....

OK,
the joint you need is a 1310-1330 conversion u-joint
Precision brand #253 or #353
