Re: Aluminum Fuel cell
Thought I would update this thread as i am completed with it . The cell is sitting on some 2x6 aluminum tubes bolted thru those and the trunk, and the straps are attached to the tubes with 3/8 bolts going thru them and spacers inside to not crush the tube, I plumbed up the twin electrics just in cas...

Re: Pinion angle adjustment Questions
Yea That was my thought ,but the more i look at things etc, your right the driveshaft will be angling down more to set at the rear. I wasn't thinking straight ,lol. I decided to just do the 3.5 and be done with it, According the mark williams site with a driveshaft of 58 ctc the critical speed is st...

Re: Pinion angle adjustment Questions

Re: Pinion angle adjustment Questions
Ok sounds good!.But I guess I don't understand why I would need the shaft if I already know the trans angle of -4? that isn't going to change when i slide the shaft in. I am calling the guy tomorrow with the measurments for the shaft, I took it from the seal to that front of the yoke 62 3/8, he said...

Re: Pinion angle adjustment Questions
