Thrust block dimensions for Sure-grip??

[fishy68]

Can anybody give me the measurements to make some thrust blocks for my 8-3/4 Dana power lock sure-grip. I have the hardened rod and access to a lathe but don't know the measurements.

Thanks, Tracy

Tracy, I just went through this also. Had to make them in a pinch (torqueflite gov. valves and a mumbly peg from transgo shift kit :-D). I did find out Chrysler still has them and there are a few available yet. I'll post part number when I get to work tomorrow if you'd like.

Hi Chris. I found them for $25 at Mancini's. I just like playing with the new lathe and figured I'd make them and get some practice on the lathe and save a few bucks at the same time. Thanks, Tracy
