Rick, where did you get your venturi parts from?

I got a set of 4.89 gears from Slantzilla (Thanks Dennis) a year or so back and finally am getting them in a case. I have a new spool and side bearings and have the pinion bearings are on the way. My plans are to try and go after Gary Bruner's long standing 1/8 mile record of 7.87. My car has been 8.06 with the 4.30 gears so it would need to pick up about two tenths. Larger (40MM) Venturi's should add a few horsepower and the 4.89's should help maximize the use of all 3 gears. If that doesn't work I'll have to consider a little more compression! :D :D And then! And then! :D

PS. I forgot to ask, but does anyone know where to get a more reasonably priced pinion seal. This 742 case pinion seal is $20, which I don't understand, when the bearings are only that much?? :( I ordered one for my immediate needs but wouldn't mind having a spare.

I ran into that on the last 742 I did too. I think I bought a couple off Rock Auto.

What's the part# on that seal?

Sometimes a cross reference search might turn something up.

Is it not the same as the 489 seal?

IIRC, 742 is it's own. 489 and 741 are the same.

Weird because they all use the same yokes.

Did you look on Dr. Diff's website?

Never mind, his are $18 too.

I was going to get it from Dr Diff but he did not have the pinion bearings for sale individually. He only had them with the complete bearing and seal kit. I already had the side bearings for the spool. So I just ordered from Rock Auto.
Bearing number is a Timken 7216 I believe.

If it's a good seal, I would gladly pay $20. I try not to spend less than $10 on axle seals and trans front pump seals since usually the cheap ones are garbage.

You are right Lou. What bugs me is that a bearing that has all kinds of precision and machining done is $20 or less too.By comparison it makes no sense to me.

Agreed, but the MBAs who decide how to market these and buy and sell them have no idea about such concepts.

Rick,
Since I'm such a nice guy... I'll be glad to sell you a bearing for $95.99 that way you feel better about the seal costing $20. AND!... if you want to do a package deal I'll sell you a bearing for $110.99 and throw in the seal for $5! I won't even charge you shipping or tax! - How's that for a friend!? :lol:
