8 1/4 rear end questions

Sanguine said

I run one in my '75 Duster with no problems...not much in the line of different #s...correct that you do not want the 2.45 ratio...I have one of those sitting in the next room...the yokes came in 7260 and 7290 u joint flanges...You dont want an open one...they're weak...the sure grip carriers are much stronger, and available in auburn cone and flat clutch models...

Thanks for the help so far....

You lost me with the 7260 vs 7290 yokes; are both types open or just one (the 7260)? Are carriers different for 2.71 & above ratios if it was sure grip equipped or not? What was different? I'm budgeting having to buy a new sure grip so why would I want to buy one from a wrecker when it will quite likely be worn/need a rebuild (if it can be).
