A spicer yoke (forged) is more than adequate for most applications. They can be bought from Denny's Driveshaft service or any driveline shop that carries Spicer products.

I myself went with a billey yoke from Denny's as it was only $30 more and came gold iridited instead of bare metal...looked cleaner to me ;)

That is the one...the Chromoly is the billet I mentioned...probably used the wrong term, but were talking about the same one.

Hech, even the standard forged Spicer yoke would have worked just fine on my car...just wanted the 4130 as it was iridited and looked myuch prettier underneath attached to the even more attractive 3 1/2" Denny's MMC aluminum driveshaft ;) :D

I used a Moser... and it was a REALLY tight fit over the pinion. I actually could not slide it over the pinion far enough to use the nut to draw it down, I had to borrow the correct installation tool from someone to get it on. Nice piece though.

When you install your Yoke try to use
a GM washer not the one they give you,
will be alot easier to get off in the future.

I bought mine from Toms differential. Nice unit for the money. He usually has stuff on sale this time of year. You might want to check them out www.tomsdifferentials.com (http://www.tomsdifferentials.com)
