I was able to shim up the trans/engine with three of those thick Cragar washers I had for sale last week (actually 6, three on each bolt. That...
Won't hurt the metal. But will kill anything plastic, painted, coated, or rubber. Or POLISHED!!! Especially after that amount of time. I used...
New numbers.... The shims brought the pinion parallel to the shaft and transmission, so we are good there. Front of vehicle ---> Pinion 1* /...
I got the story from two different guys in the same small town that "had a buddy". Small enough town that it could have been the same guy. One...
The stock power steering on a Maverick is just plain sloppy. I don't think what you showed in the video (difficult to see exactly) was any...
I think this is an exact post of mine from about 8 years ago. Did you cut and paste it? Just kidding, but seriously, I fought this battle for...
What gear you running? Front end lifts pretty good for a mid-11 second car. Not that there is anything wrong with a "mid-11 second car"...wish I...

Just finished measuring everything. Still reading the theory trying to determine which direction to move the rearend. Kinda confusing. But I want...
The only thing I don't like is that the foam rubber is on the bottom without any protection, so I am going to take a sheet of plastic (probably...
The main problem is the weather. Beautiful today, but supposed to rain all weekend. So.... I had several things I had to get done today while...
I have thought about shimming the trans up to level it out. But first, I want to get under there and get good measurements of all the parts and...
Drive shaft is spinning but the force pushing the pinion is off so it goes back to its relaxed position. Which is within the angles that don't...
Hydraulic roller. I have shifted as high at 7200, but 6500 is my typical "getting on it" shift point. If I am just screwing around with a...
