Re: Daverods project 66
So does the engine sit off the the side too?:uhmk: I don't get it, the cross member they gave me that holds the carrier bearing is centered?

Re: Daverods project 66
Don't think it matters (to a point), being parallel is the prime directive.

Re: Daverods project 66
About an 1". You can see in the picture how far. Maybe it does'nt matter. Just wanted to know for sure? I mean they make a big deal about setting the pinion to a degree or so then it does'nt matter if your drive line is sitting an 1"to the left? Why don't they just make it so it's centered?

Re: Daverods project 66
Another thing people don't realize is that the pinion center line in hardly ever on the center line of the frame. They, also are offset to the passenger side.

Re: Daverods project 66
It doesn't matter that the two U-joints are not on the same centerline from the front of the frame to the back (my engine is set right 2" and the pinion is 1-1/2" right.) It only matters that their individual centerlines are parallel..

Re: Daverods project 66
as long as the axis of your external components run parallel to one another within a few degrees you are fine. the centre line of the eng and tran should be parallel to the cetre line of the pinion shaft to within those 3 degrees. the centreline of the eng and trans may sit 5" higher than than the pinion centreline. If you projected those centrelins past one another those lines should run parallel to one another.
next; sya that your vehicle is north and south and eng is north. pinion shaft is 1 1/2" to the right or east. the eng and trans centreline is straight N & S as is the pinion centreline. project those centrelines and they are running parallel to one another 1 1/2" apart. a d/shaft with a working ujoint on either end compensates for all this as long as they (the front and rear centreline are within certain parameters; 0-3 degrees of one another) ron |

Re: Daverods project 66
Drained my transmission oil in the 64 found 3 parts of a hand grenade.:waah: I wonder if it's cheaper to pull it take it down and get it fixed or pull it and put in on from the junk yard. Guess I better go pull it out.;)Suck:lol: Think I should put in another 3 speed?

Re: Daverods project 66
another thing about having one rebuild is that you can have them make it a little stronger
i agree with tiggamonster that you dont know wat a tranny from a junkyard been trough it might just be that the rebuild one on an exchange basis aspecially a 3 speed wont differ so mush with a yard one |
Re: Daverods project 66
Yeah - bite the bullet and rebuilt the tranny with heavier stuff inside - then you can tromp on it without worrying.
On Ron's description - I kind of get it. 3 degrees maximum drive-line angle, I'm assuming - in any plane. Tail shaft of transmission to pinion of rear end. Piece of string from centerline of each component - from one to the other: Maximum angle can't exceed 3 degrees. These components must point directly (parallel) down the centerline of the vehicle however even if they're offset - if they don't, that will create a situation that increases possible vibration. Mac. :mm: |
Re: Daverods project 66
sorry, the driveshaft can run at a greater angle. the 0-3 degree variance is the alignment between the centreline of the engine and pinion or in other words the variance of the parallel lines
eg. look at the difference in d/shaft angle between a 4 x 4 and a 2 wheel dr. quite a difference. the alignment of the eng and pinion between both remain the same ron |
