What to buy ?

RJChallenger · October 15, 2019, 07:21:18 AM

I just received my 2nd paycheck in 4 years,

the first check paid back the money I borrowed for Moparfest. With bad knees / back, I reluctantly went back to work part-time in the hopes of making my A66 a driveable car in time for its 50th birthday. Fortunately for me, its a May car. If anyone can help me, I need the following parts. Listed in order of importance
1 - Rear pinion yoke for a 489 case fine spline with straps/ bolts.
2 - A 35 tooth speedometer pinion.
3 - One black 70 sun visor
4 - Lower dash corners, left and right.
I see Roseville has the speedometer pinion , but i did not see a rear pinion yoke. Please let me know what you have, how much and if your willing to ship to Ontario, Canada. Thanks

Thanks @JS27 it does look like the one in the middle ,I've dropped the exhaust and drive shaft this afternoon to get a better look. Oil is leaking at the gasket and pinion seal. gonna pull the pot and make sure everything is tight. I'll no more later,Thanks

@RJChallenger Rob I have a pair of 1970-71 Black sun visors in nice shape....for you $40/pair CDN if you want to pick them up.

Might have a yoke too, but it's for the smaller 7260 U Joint... No correct size speedo gears, or dash trim, sorry

RJChallenger · October 17, 2019, 01:48:21 PM

I'll take the sunvisors at $40.I have the 7260 u Joint . PM Sent.

Cool beans...they'll be here when you want them, no rush. The yoke is at the transmission shop still...I won't likely get it until early next week. It's from a 489 case for sure, but an earlier one. It's also for the 7260 U Joint and I upgraded to the 7290. I have no idea of the spline count, but will have a better idea next week...

anlauto · October 21, 2019, 10:21:57 AM

@RJChallenger Rob Here's what I have here for a yoke. 100% certain it came off of a 489 case, 29 spline, 7260 U Joint. I will likely have straps and bolts here as well.
$20.00 CDN

RJChallenger · October 28, 2019, 01:00:11 PM

@anlauto I picked up a SKF strap kit for the yoke , so I'm good there. May not need the rear yoke after all. Will have to check the threads. Cant hurt to have spare parts. What day this week is good for me to drop by to pick up the parts? Thanks

dodj · October 28, 2019, 01:39:23 PM

Bad knees and back?.......Save up and buy a lift......Then get back on the car.

Rob, as you may be aware, the pinion uses a crush sleeve, but I found that by staking a mark on the pinion shoulder and nut and by counting how many turns it takes to take the pinion nut off, that when I pulled my yoke and changed the seal, that by putting it back together, to exactly the same marks, I was able to avoid changing the crush sleeve which requires removal of the whole pinion shaft. so far. about 5,000 miles and no leakage. Do you have a part# for the speedo gear?

RJChallenger · October 28, 2019, 05:13:44 PM

Thanks @jimynick I'm well aware of that stupid crush sleeve . I had to buy a second crush sleeve when I assembled my rear diff years ago. I ended up going to a solid spacer. I will however follow your advice about marking the pinion nut. Hopefully this is the last of my drive train issues. Thanks
