My Gear Vendors Install Thread - '67 Barracuda Notchback 340/416 Stroker
For modifying the tunnel area where the overdrive is said to make contact, my plan is to use a convex dimpling tool on my air hammer. I figure that should do a good job of slowly stretching the metal where needed rather than trying to beat it into submission with a big hammer. We shall see!
I also ordered a couple of angle finder tools to help with checking the driveline and pinion angles. I have a 340/727 combo and an 8 3/4" rearend.
I plan to install some 7/16 block plate spacers on the front spring mounts to push the rearend back a little bit, to help center the 295/55/15 tires in the rear wheel wells a little better. I'll do this before measuring for a new short drive shaft to be made.
