Need 8 3/4 info, please
I will be checking over an 8 3/4 to possibly buy tomorrow and would like some tips on what to look for because I am pretty ignorant about rear ends.
It is supposedly from a 72 Duster with an open diff, 3.23 gears. Any tips you can give me on how to check it over (bearings,wear, etc.) would be very much appreciated. |

489 was the newest. They made several changes in the 489 that made it weaker than the 742.

What is the intended usage?
Putting it in a A body? If you want it for something else it will be too narrow. |

With the exception of obvious damage, it's nearly impossible to check the condition of a rear end without complete disassembly and even then the eyeball can be wrong.
I've seen wear patterns on a ring/pinion that looked absolutely normal but wound up howling when installed. |
