What should I be looking for to determine I am viewing a suregrip unit as opposed to a non-suregrip? I am going to look at a center chunk outside of the housing on Monday. Thanks.

Unless a 489 case has had a crush sleeve eliminator installed, the yoke can't be swapped without messing up the pinion pre-load. 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.

I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it.

Thanks. I am so glad I asked. Quote:

FYI... They do make a 7290/7260 conversion U-joint, so the small yoke isn't necessarily a show stopper.

Well...AWESOME! I really want this unit as it is close and has the 323 gearing. I am guessing Dr, Diff has the conversion kit? Quote:

Dr Diff is great, but no need to go that far. Should be able to get one through any parts store. Moog/Precision 347

Yep. In Orange. Thanks! Quote:
Don't know where in CA you are, but if you are anywhere around Orange County, Powertrain Industries here in G.G. should have them on the shelf.
