you guys are right, i might as well cough up for a 1350 yoke as well.
the only reason i was thinking 7290, was i had one of those yolks on the shelf.
i only want to do this once. this car is heavy, but it will never have lots of hp or dead hook, so by going overboard on a shaft, i shouldn't have to worry about this part for the rest of my time here.
any suggestions on upgraded straps for the yoke ? what about ARP bolts for the yolk, or will common grade 8 bolts be ok ?
