    What more common cars have 7290 joints?

    Wondering what out there had 7290 joints? Would rather find something at a local wrecker than import all the way down here. Did any jeeps have 7290's there's a lot of them down here. Anything else?

    Pinion angle, stock and recommended with SS springs.

    Yep I known this has been asked many times, but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Firstly if I was to weld the perches on in the factory location, angle, what angle would the pinion be relative to perches?

    When should you brace an 8 3/4 housing?

    I'm building a 4.10 sure grip 8 3/4 for my duster, before I blast and paint it, wondering if it's worthwhile back bracing it. At what sort of power levels should they be braced? I'll probably never run slicks but 295 radials.

    Early style pre '65 8 3/4 outer flanges the same?

    Hi guys, does any bright folk out there know if the housing end flanges on the pre 65 8 3/4 axle are the same as the later style? Or even if they are close enough that a little machining will make them work?

    Small block 904 vs /6 904, any difference to drive shaft length?

    Hi all, swapping from a slant 6 in my 75 duster to a 360, will run a 904. Want to know if there's any difference to drive shaft length in the two set ups? I heard somewhere that the slant 6 904's had a shorter tail shaft, is that right? I don't have a spare small block 904 to measure to check.
