So, with the 8 3/4 talk earlier....where there different yokes for the 489 case? U-joint sizes maybe?
Click to expand...
yes. at least 2, a small yoke like they used on 741 and early 742s. And a large yoke. The good news is, spicer makes a U joint that acts as an adapter between the two and is available at most auto stores
 
Ok, but with 489 cases only, was there a large and small yoke or different spline counts on the pinion?

spline counts there were 2, now that i think about, 10 splines and i forget the other, 28 or 29 i think. same size pinion shaft as well.
 
I do know they made large and small yokes in both splines though. I traded my 4.56 489 suregrip for a 3.23 489 to a guy who drove his charger up, mine had the large yoke, his had the small, we swapped yokes right there in the drive way. that was about 2 years ago.

nice.

so question. What truly defines NOS? I keep seeing this term thrown around. To me, its limited to factory made parts, unopen, unused left over from the era when these cars were new. But lately, Ive been seeing it thrown around in the aftermarket realm a lot more than ever before too. For example, there's several posts on that mopar page on facebook, "NOS Heddman Headers" NOS Edlebrock Performer... etc etc.
 
New Old Stock. New factory items never sold. Doesn't necessarily have to be OEM.
New old stock (NOS), refers to merchandise being offered for sale which was manufactured long ago but that has never been sold at retail. Such merchandise may not be produced anymore, and the new old stock may represent the only current market source of a particular item.[1]

Although not an officially recognized accounting term, it is in common use in the auction and retail industries. For example, owners of classic, vintage, and antique vehicles seek NOS parts that are needed to keep their bicycles, automobiles, motorcycles, or trucks operational, or in factory-original condition. These owners put a premium on NOS parts.

Another example is businesses catering to vacuum tube enthusiasts that define NOS as any stocked item which has been sitting on a stockroom or warehouse shelf for some time, in addition to stocked items which are no longer being manufactured.[2]

Another definition of NOS is new original stock, meaning that they are original equipment parts that remained in inventory for a use that never came. Automobile dealers and parts companies often sell such slow-moving stock at a discount. Other specialty parts vendors then market these NOS parts that may either decline or increase in value depending on their type and desirability.[3]

yup, could be from last year: NOS bumper cover for 2019 Challenger or a set of last years TTi headers, they're "NOS" because they're from last year and didn't sell. I mostly ignore it when I see it unless it's old school parts.
 
I should put on my grubby clothes and get busy. I need to put a muffler on the white truck. Not fun on a creeper in the driveway. I need a shop and lift. :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:

Hopefully it will go smoothly like the ECM fix on the black truck.
