12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
A little late on updating on the diff repair. The new parts from Dr. Diff are a much better design. The old one essentially had two sets up splines stacked. This is what ultimately twisted my Dr. Diff axles. There will be two different forces being applied to these splines.
The new design puts all the axle splines on the gear and split between the gear and "pressure plate" for the clutches. Much better design in my opinion. I had back together the weekend after the failure. Everything seems to be in working order now.
I also got a set of Manley pushrods. They are .080" wall compared to the .060" wall stockers. The difference can be felt in the weight alone. Time to turn that rev limiter up!
