When I removed my sidepipes I noticed the left manifold was difficult to remove.

65 coupe u-joints

I am removing my rear end and thought maybe it would be a good idea to replace the u-joints at the same time. Any specific part number and can I get them at your local auto parts store? Better to get the non-lube or regular ones with fittings? Small block yokes. Thanks
