Chances are, it will still have the crush sleeve. A 489 case would have a come with a cone type SG if originally equipped. Sure Grips will interchange between cases though, so it is possible to rebuild with a clutch-type. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools...

They do make a 7290/7260 conversion U-joint, so the small yoke isn't necessarily a show stopper. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools...

The driveshaft in my Torana is from them even. Plus them being only like 10 minutes away makes it handy too.

And if you have never been there...they are just up the street from Hillco, big nut and bolt store. (thier prices have gone up abit from what they used to be but I guess that is happening alot of places) but handy if you are looking for things. You've got McFadden-dale to sorta over your way..but always handy to have different places to try for stuff. (I'm just between Magnolia and Brookhurst off Lampson so real close to them for me.)
