My Gear Vendors Install Thread - '67 Barracuda Notchback 340/416 Stroker
Last night, I finished up all of the electrical side of things and also started some disassembly for the mechanical side of things.
I mounted the switch panel that I had made and also made some labels for that panel as well as the floor switch... In case I die tomorrow and someone needs to know what they do. LOL
I also checked my driveline angles. Trans output shows 3 degrees down while pinion shows 3.5 degrees up. I ordered some 3 degree perch shims from Dr Diff. I think this should get me closer to in the sweet spot when it's under full load.
I also need to shorten my adjustable pinion snubber as it is making contact with the body in the lowest position. This is because I flipped the front leaf spring hangers to lower the rear end a little. The car has ESPO +1 inch leaf springs in it. Wish I would have gone with stock height.
If anyone has a stock pinion snubber for sale, or that I could try out to see how it sits/clears, let me know! I'd rather check a stock one before I cut down my adjustable one.
Cheers,
