Re: Yup, they were right.

None better than Brewer Performance !! I called Wayne about their billit steel 7290 yoke for a 8 3/4 --742 differential, and a extra strong racing 7290 U joint. Their yoke uses the U bolts instead of straps. . I asked if there was any way to get it here by Thursday. He offered to have those parts drop shipped to me from a location here in Iowa and have it here tomorrow ( Wendsday). And accepted Pay Pal payment. Can't ask for more than that !!................MO

It is a broken rear yoke, and of course ruined a U joint. Put a ding in the driveshaft, but I think it will be OK. The driveshaft was set up for 7290 U joints, but the diff .yoke is for a 7260 using a combo U joint. I will get a 7290 yoke that uses the U bolts instead of the cap straps. Crunch time as the local car show is Saturday. ....................................MO

New Nitto drag radials are mounted . First try out of a medium launch on new heavy duty springs resulted in what I think was the stock snubber whacking the floor and a big fuel bog. 4 speed tranny and sure- lock I just finished clamping the leaf springs- two on the front segment and one on the back segment ( per side). It sure stiiffened up those springs.
They were right-- get some traction tires and the next weak link will show up. Still have the fuel bog. The driveshaft let loose at I think a U joint. Stuck out on a highway, getting towards dark , and very little shoulder. Got the car pulled to a side road and called a tow truck. . He was able to park it right in my garage. I was so aggravated , I didn't want to even look...afraid to find a broken yoke and a bent driveshaft.( new).. I will find out the bad news tomorrow..............................MO
