Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?
Set up the new 3.54 ring and pinion in the 34.
One thing is that to get the contact patch nice it needs a .060 shim under the pinion bearing. other wise the contact is way too high, right on the top of the tooth.
so ,after. a days work, I have a nice contact patch and .008 b/lash.
tomorrow I will finish the assy of the rear axle and refit it,
BUT , I. thought I may try with a thinner shim under the pinion ,just to see.
I have all the shim and gaskets written down so I have a datum to return too.
