Almost complete with the SOA. Read numerous articles, etc but here's where I'm at now.
74 driveline in a 66 chassis, perches at same as stock angle, universals at or near bottomed out, ka-nuckin' or near ka-nuckin', the tranny end being the worst
1.) Axle shims or lowering the tranny, which will help the most? Note that the stock angles ( faces of the pinion shafts) WERE NOT PARALLEL to begin with, and would have never worked. The front pinion flange would have been several degrees toward the dirt!
2.) If I opt to lower the tranny some (thinking the mounts may be different from 66 to 74?) What do I need to watch for? AND can I just shave down the pucks or can they be replaced? If so with what?
I need help! The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to flicker............AGAIN :'(
