The pinion nut was missing from the rearend under my 62 Signet and the yoke worked its way off. This caused the rear to lock up so that i could not roll the car back and forth. Having a bout 4 other 7.25 rears laying around I decided to take the nut and washer off of one of them to remedy the rollability deficiency. To my chagrin I found that the nut that and washer that I took from another 7.25 differential would not fit on this one. It happens that one of the rear axles I have is from about a 74 Duster with large bolt pattern; the nut and washer from that diff fit fine and is 1/8" larger that the earlier one. I'm suspicious that the rear end in the Valiant has been changed out for a later model. The real question is this: The rear that I first robbed of its nut and washer is the one with a sure-grip in it. Will that sure grip accept the later gears and will it fit into the later housing? |

I just went through the same thing ....pinion nut off and locked diff. I put 65 gears in a 74 7.25 with no difficulty. |
