    Looking to replace mine as part of a complete prop shaft rebuild
    GM Saginaw part# 1389864
    Fort Wayne clutch shows a Spicer part# of 211011X which they are out of stock and is now discontinued.

    Any ideas on what unobtainium I can obtain to replace this unobtainium???

    Contact Tom Telesco, he has a driveshaft for that car.
    Another option is to take it to a driveline shop and have them retrofit a more modern joint in, my Electra is now running a Hyundai CV (I think it's Hyundai, or maybe it's Acura...I can't remember!) joint in place of that whole mess.
    It's been 3 years and a few burnouts but no issues with the new joint flying apart with the torque.

    Gentlemen, thanks for your responses. I may just grab that NOS kit, but I did manage to find the Spicer kit at Denny's driveshaft. I bought 2. Same thing applies for the Moog 492 U-joint, which fits the CV, and has also been discontinued. Got 1 locally, found 2 on Rock Auto, so I grabbed them.
