Pinion snubber is also a cheap and easy way reduce pinion wrap. Basically a bump stop for your diff. However, it doesn't help with reverse...
You also need to put the gauge on the driveshaft with it installed. The angle that the tranny and pinion make with level don't help much if...
Are those in relation to the drive shaft or to level? I'm guessing they're to level? If so, what is the driveshaft angle?
Pinion angle should always be in relation to the drive shaft, not the ground or "level". In both pictures, the line connecting the trans to the...
I'm not there yet. Still lots of grinding, welding, and measuring to do before I get to put the new parts in there. Maybe I can get some work...
Your first pic shows pinion down.
Yeah, I know. I took the picture before I looked at what I'd done. They're clearly marked "Driver" and "Passenger" and the anti-dive angle is...
I am using .035 flux core wire on the lowest heat setting, and a feed speed of 3. No real numbers to go along with this unfortunately. Here is...
That's the first time I've ever seen a recommended pinion up angle. Normally they tell you to put the pinion down 3* since it will rotate up when...
More pics. The first one is the passenger side frame cut, welded, and ground. [IMG] The second pic is the coil-over mount sitting on the...
It's at least 4 inches shorter, and probably the same amount more narrow. I'd have to ask my dad as he knows all the specifics. They used to...
You don't have hair on your peaches if you can't pull a wheelie in the sand.
They must have switched to the 2.3 mid year in '74. You shouldn't have a problem finding the mounts to bolt the 2.3 into your car. My dad used a...
What year is your pinto? My father hasn't worked on his car since 2002 when I graduated college. His is a '72 (I believe). We have the 2.3 in...
'69.5 Can't beat the original.
Yesterday I welded up the frame where I cut off the pinch weld flanges. Used the flux core wire (since it's cheaper to use) and I was going to be...
They used to, but not so much anymore, kind of depends on the track. Vine Diesel put his NOS in the front passenger seat cushion and his floor...
I'll take the cobra engine! :Handshake I need an 8 bolt crank and the 2nd gen Mark VIII intake is almost more useful as a boat anchor. That...
I'm pretty comfortable with the MS. It uses a table system that is very similar to what we had at work. My time that I would spend sitting in...
It's a physics thing. That is the oil pressure required to pump oil up the con rod to the wrist pin and overcome the force on the oil generated...
