VAC Project: Need help with a part number

Dealer says that it is a "retired" part number with no sub.

Any one have a updated number or a CR or National equivalent ?

Thanks as always,

Frank

Thank you very much! How did you know the number when my dealer doesn't? I'm trying to do this Case thing right, but working from old part numbers in my D-61 parts book, to the new part numbers I get when I can find a cross reference, and then still hitting a brick wall is getting frustrating. If it weren't for folks on this board, I'd be stuck.

I wish I knew the secret handshake.

I appreciate the help. Now I understand, there is sort of a secret handshake !

Thanks for the insight. I wish I had known that, and I'd have started with an E61 book. Fortunately, I've been able to buy a lot of the seals at NAPA. I have had a miserable experience with two different dealers parts guys. Both had been at their dealership for "over 2 years", and they didn't seem to want to step up and look up a parts diagram for me at all. I like ordering parts on the web, but I have to know the part number, and all I was asking them was to check to see if they had an updated part number.

I do fault Case in that respect. I understand how they wouldn't want to have multiple part numbers for the same seal, but all they had to do in their database was to say, the following parts X, Y, Z are now this part: YY, and that would alert the parts guy on the computer. But the guy said the VT4992 was retired, and that was the end of the story.

Oh well, Thanks for listening to my rant. And as always, thanks for the help on the parts numbers. On the lighter side, I have the re-built torque tube re-mounted, the re-built transmission installed, and the rearend re-attached. Head should be done today. Might get to hear it run in a few weeks.
