Re: 2 for 1 Part II...
Thanks Guys, I was just was not feeling the love I guess. I know alot of people post all the time, and some just like you guys have said. I think it was the weather that got me a little down yesterday.
I made a SMALL amount of progress today, I measured for the driveshaft and set the pinion angle. I just need to tighten up the bolts to the correct torque.
I got lucky on the driveshaft I am using that came out of Korbin's Sunburn. I had thought it was going to be too short since we thought we set the engine back further in it. Well it must have not been set back as much as we thought. The driveshaft was right on the money for length. The only thing wrong was the u-joint for the rearend was wrong. The 12 bolt that was in Sunburn had the smaller diameter caps and not as wide. The 10 bolt I am using has larger caps and is wider. SO, I took the shaft down the shop that built it for me origanally, they had the correct conversion u-joint in stock, so about 45 minutes later and $75.69, I have a shaft that will bolt in with no worries. The part number for the U-joint is listed as 5-3022X on the ticket, the description says it is a 1310 to Saginaw.
Got home and it slid right in. The bad part is that there is a bunch of crap in the bolt holes on the yoke and the bolts won't go in. I need to run a 5/16"-24 tap thru the holes to clean them up. That will have to wait for tomorrow.
Well that is all for today...
