To install it, put the clamp on the dist shaft, way down by the bottom. Tighten the clamp enuff that it won't fall off, but will still slide on the shaft. Install the dist and tighten it down. The installation will position the clamp for zero endplay on the dist shaft and intermediate shaft. Then remove the dist, tighten the clamp on the shaft so it won't slide, re-install the dist, and you are good to go.
That's exactly how I did it! Great HEMI minds think alike.
ps: I used a drop of Loctite on the screws.
Dave, your hemi eyes must of missed that "trick" componet listed in the Hamburger 340/360 Catalog circa 1979, eh?
Leigh, don't be a HATER. I never said the trick was my idea, did I? If you want to give Ed Hamburger credit for it, go right ahead. Happy now? You must be a lot older than me, because I was in my junior year of high school in '79. In the future, I suggest you NOT skank up threads with your garbage posts. Be helpful, not hateful.
