Seen some threads that say a 742 housing seal is a little different than a 741 or 489, T/F I don't know for sure.

Was sure you saw them but my two cents. WOW $50!You are correct Fran. Here's Dr. Diffs listing.

"Add $10 for the 742 seal" which makes it $18 + shipping. I looked the seal up in NAPA's site and its showing $50 !!!
I agree, it not just a simple seal, one of the more complex with actually two rows of contact, inner and outer. But that doesn't explain the big price differences.Yeah when you see the seal you will know why. It's a lot more substantial than the others.
Car is looking fantastic, great work!
On the pinion seal, I apply permatex ultra grey around the outer perimeter before I drive it home. Had one that leaked around the housing without it.
I thought I could find one local for around $20, I thought wrong. I called Napa, $49.95. Called a Parts Plus close to me, $45.00. Called an old parts place, Carquest, $29. They can have it tomorrow morning by 8:00. That will give my back a rest, just hope it's not a piece of junk. I've heard that there are cheap ones out there. I wanted to get it back together by Saturday. Suppose to be good weather here.
Thanks for the offer! I did manage to get a good torque out of it. I looked around town for a replacement but all I could find were 150# wrenches. Next time I need one over 150# I'm going to be sol.Too bad we don’t live closer, I’ve got a 3/4” drive torque wrench that I’d let you borrow.
Mats look great.
I can't remember how many times I did that. That's why I stopped lending tools. I'll just say I don't have one or find out why they need it and just offer to fix it to help them out.When I worked on diesel trucks I had a 400#er. Lent it out, forgot to who. Oh well..
