WTB 727 Slip Yoke

[Virg464]

Looking for a trans slip yoke for my 727, 1330 u-joints.

 

[1 Wild R/T]

Why would you want a slip yoke for a non stock U joint? FWIW I just did a quick search & found a 1330 yoke for a 904 but not for a 727....

Are you sure your not needing a 7290? The 7290 is virtually the same size as a 1330 but has inside snap ring grooves..

To be more precise, the distance across the caps is the same, the cap diameter is slightly bigger, 1.125 vs 1.062....

If he has a 66/67 BB it could be a 1330 u joint. It would easier to find a complete driveshaft with a 1330. Easier buy a 7290 or a 1350 yoke and buy a combination u-joint. Only difference between the 3 u-joints is the cup size.

They make adapter u joints and they work fine.

I have a dozen = I will mike them when I feel better.

In the '70's Mopar sold the 1330 U joint on their build the drive shaft package.

Pre 68 440 and hemi cars came with the 1330 joint.

I'm not a drive-line expert so I'm kindda shooting in the dark. The reason I asked about the yoke being sized for 1330 u-joints is because my car has a narrowed ford 9" rear axle, and the pinion yoke is a ford unit that uses the 1330 Big Cap u-joint. So, I thought the rest of the drive-line would have 1330 u-joints.
Sounds like I will have two different u-joints, 1330 BC at the diff and a 7290 for the trans? There by requiring a custom driveshaft, or changing the pinion yoke. Hope I'm on the right track?

There are 7290-1330 conversion U joints.. So thats pretty easy.... You really need to get accurate measurements to be sure your getting the right parts...

It is a 66 Coronet, but it's a weekend fun at the track only car. There is no driveshaft, so I'm going to have to buy one.

1330 = 3 5/8" across the caps... Cap diameter is 1.066. Uses external style retaining clips..
7290 = 3 5/8" across the caps... Cap diameter is 1.126 Uses internal style retaining clips..
1350 = 3 5/8" across the caps... Cap diameter is 1.188 Uses external style retaining clips..

External style clip

Internal style clip

Right, all I have right now is the pinion yoke and I know that's the ford 1330BC unit, cap dia is 1.125" and the width is 3.625". It sounds like there are more u-joint combos than I realized. If I can find a 7290-1330BC unit for the diff end I can go with a 7290 at the diff.

I had same issue Dana 60 1330 yoke. Had a driveshaft made 1350 at trans, on rear of driveshaft 1350 with a 1350/1330 combination u-joint to fit Dana 1330 yoke. Measure carefully, consult whoever makes your d-shaft how to measure!!

Inside style =7290

 

[Virg464]

Thanks for the inputs. I did more research to confirm things, (which I should have done ahead of time) and it looks like the 7290 has 1.125" bearing caps all around (inside c-clip style). The 1330BC has one set of 1.125" caps for the pinion yoke, and both have the same width 3.625". So, unless I'm off base on this I can use the mopar slip yoke (7290 size) and have the drive shaft built for 7290's at both ends?

 

[Fran Blacker]

Yes.

Maybe I'm just cheap but more often then not when I need a driveshaft I find a shaft from a C body which usually has the 7290 joints at both ends & it's longer than I need.. It's allot cheaper to cut & balance then to build new... Now if your making 700 HP I wouldn't consider that but for the typical street car it works great saves $$$ for more important things... Like gas.. In the past I would have said beer but gas costs more..

Great idea! I'm only making maybe 500HP (max), I will start looking at the local yards...
