Setting up gears for my 71 New Yorker 489 case. New gears, bearings and races. I am new at this so I am asking for opinions and looking for any helpful advise. I have the differential assembled with a test pinion bearing for easy shim adjustments. Pinion depth was set using ratech tool. Will be installing crush sleeve eliminator but it is not currently installed, so no preload established yet. Seal is not installed. Backlash is set at .008″. Pattern doesn’t look terrible but I was wondering…

8 3/4 gear pattern

Bad day today. I put a pretty good nick in differential carrier bearing journal. It’s about an inch long on an angle. .090 deep at deepest point. Journal thickness is about .330. Is this carrier junk now, or can I use it?

I bought a 489 case at Carlisle a few years back with 323 sure grip. Turns out the pinion seal leaks. Was going to change the seal without replacing crush sleeve by measuring rotational torque before disassembly and putting back to the same spec. Using a beam type inch pound wrench I was only getting about 4 inch pounds and that is with the axles in (drums off). Now I’m feeling like it needs to come apart. Looking for any advice I can get with this issue, if it is an issue.

Just finishing up restoration of my 71 New Yorker. I need a hood insulation pad. Anyone know where I can get one?

Car looks really clean. He is asking $22,500 Canadian.

Thoughts?

Does anyone know if there are stripe kits available for 71 Sport Fury GT anywhere?
