I just saw this weld on pinion snubber plate on bill roliks web site. I was thinking about adding it to my car. Anyone have a pic of where/how it's installed from the factory?

Tav

Taken from front looking to the rear.

Was this used on all cars with pinion snubbers? Just hemi and 440+6? Do I need it if I plan on using a pinion snubber?

Tav

The picture I posted was of a 70 Cuda with a Dana 60.

AFAIK: only hemi E-bodies... Haven't had one on any of the '70 6bbl 4-spd or auto cars that I have owned.

Were Hemi's the only cars that came with Pinion Snubbers then?

Tav

was there a date when they started? i have heard only after 12-69? thanks moparts

Yes, most commonly after 12-69. I've been told of some before that date recently.
Seems to be hit or miss on the earlier cars.

That sounds more like it. I was sure I'd seen lots of pinion snubbers, never noticed that plate before though.

So the next question is... "Should I install a snubber plate on my car?" 70 challenger, stroked small block six pak, Street Driven no track time. I DO plan on having a pinion snubber, might even go for one of the aftermarket adjustable types, not sure yet.

Tav

Probably a good idea to weld one in. After years of beating on my '70 383 4-spd Roadrunner with a MP adjustable pinion snubber, the contact point on the floorpan was smashed up pretty good

Cool

I'd be interested in seeing more pre-December ones... maybe the ones I've seen without plates were the exception rather than ones with them...

I just checked mine today since I was driving by and thinking of this thread. Aug build V code 4 speed car and it DOES have it. I forgot the darned camera though.....will post a pic next week.

Thanks, It'd be great to have a second pic to look at since I'll probably be welding one on soon.

Tav

Just drink a six pack and then try welding it with a sparkplug while blindfolded....it wasn't pretty.

I'll try to grab a pic next week.

my all orig 10/13/69 built hemicuda got one.
looks like a monkey welded it.
