Keeper,thanks!

Tomorrow is a new day . Before church I'll pull it apart and go again. Some of you know I broke the previous gear set. When I tore it down I found some interesting stuff. The (chevy) guy who set it up runs a repair shop and some very fast nitrous cars, low 5s, high 4s in the 1/8 mile. The rear pinion bearing had been clearenced with a burr and would slide on and off the pinion with no resistance. The pinion showed signs of movement in the rear bearing, also and the pinion depth shims were crushed to the point one was in two pieces and another was broken, all were distorted. This is why I'm learning to do it myself.

Thanks guys for you're patience and advice .

i think i still have my set up bearings somewhere. you should have yelled to use them. your welcome to them

What pinion setter you using?
that far off from initial indication?
calibration or cleanliness issue on initial reading?
A bit agravating to redo many times but its good learning process, looking close to good.

SOS different day.

Another.

that should work, pull and coast sides back to back , and slightly to the inside.

lets see if you can break it again.

I would decrease shim pack thickness 0.003".

Just for you Cass , .003 out.

Drive.
