Hate to say it but did you ever think Cass could be wrong? Find me a set of gears for a 741 or 742 with the 31 spline...... I'll wait...

Found a plain 454 in moog has nothing I can see with your part. grease fitting position isn't important unless your making some serious HP. MO.

If a 1 5/16" or 1 1/4" socket fits your original 8 3/4" nut, you have a 29 spline pinion. Otherwise, your 8 3/4" has a 10 spline pinion.

Those are aftermarket gears... Fine spline was only used on 489... 741 with fine spline is a very recent thing, maybe ten years......
Notice that Case specifically states "your original 8 3/4" nut"
Hey, no big deal like Burger King sez, have it your way....

Thanks BSB67...That's probably the route I'll be going.

In hind sight, I'm not sure I answered your question. Honestly, I got lost on where this discussion went.
If I'm correct, and the 7290 does not fit, and it needs to be a 1330, you can simply put 1330 caps on the 7290 side if the joint.

Not to worry...it's been a real "joy" from the git go with the mis-information I've been given. I'm hoping the local vendor can be flexible when it comes to "dry fitting" things...

I've collected and pulled apart quite a few 8-3/4s, and I'm pretty sure the fine spline was only used on 489 cases also. Good luck to the OP either way.

Have you encountered any non 8 3/4" 489 cases with a 1 3/16" or 1 1/4" pinion nut?

I can't say I ever paid any attention to the nut sizes, I used whatever socket fit
I just don't think I have ever seen a fine spline yoke anywhere but on a 489. Did you find a U joint that worked for you?

I guess that's what I get for believing the "Internet" in regards to the pinion nut size versus the spline count. I'm going to try a Moog 457 when it arrives. It's not like I have other pressing engagements currently...I can't say I ever paid any attention to the nut sizes, I used whatever socket fit
This isn't fact. The yoke on my 66 for 1330 u-joint, don't think I could get a socket on an 1 1/4" nut. Are the 1-1/4" nuts single use nuts, egged shape to lock. The 1-1/8" nut on my 66 has small slots on top assume to help lock nut?
