13 or not

[skipnrocks]

I bought a ford 9 off a guy for my kids buggy project. He guy says they didn't come with a 1310 yoke from the factory but some goofy ford ujoint. But google says it should have a 1310 or a 1330. So who is wrong and how do I know?

1330 is the goofy ford joint he is referring to

Ok gotcha. I was thinking it had an x somewhere

Last dumb question. The yoke I have is kinda crusty but tightened as much as my desalt impact can go there is a little gap between the end of the pinion and the top of the yoke that seems like shouldn't be there. Is that accurate

Fords had 2 different 1330 joints, one is a real 1330, the newer joint is a bastard that has 2 caps a different size.


Not sure what gap you are referring to. Pics?

Ok so I'll measure the cap diameter. The gap I don't have a pic but might be able to explain. Should the pinion nut rest against the flat part of the pinion when on tight or will the tightness of the yoke leave a gap between the bottom surface of the nut and the flat of the pinion

 

[TBItoy]

The yoke goes in and pushes on the pinion bearing. The nut just does what it does, not sure how you could "see" the gap you are describing ? Or I'm not understanding where your gap is
