Run the dial indicatore along the machined flat face, where the trans bolts up. I had to use some very thin steel shims, on either side of the attaching bolts, between the block and scattershield to get mine squared up. 7064379-UndercarrigeReassembly004(Large).jpg (71 downloads) 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

He said work off 30 and I did Much better readings Went from .030@ 12:00 to .034 @ 9:00 to .028 @ 6:00 to .032 @ 3:00 Thanks to Passon Performace Well it is trans & all the rest of the parts. Top Notch guy and shop! Switched to the dark side...
