After a long hiatus of not working on the stang, I'm finally back at it again (for a short while at least)..
My gas tank has been notched and now my quick change rearend can clear the tank.. Now that THAT is done, I can get the angle of the rearend setup. My leaf spring perches/rear end mounting things came from a 3" floater racing rearend, so I need to set the pinion? angle on the rearend and weld it in place... Once that is done, I can take the tubes to get powder coated, check diff, and permanently put the rear end in the car
From prior reading, a long time ago, that I'm supposed to match the angle to the trans yoke angle - I guess this is called phasing? This way, the center lines of the yoke/pinion are parallel. But then I'm told some racers will adjust this by 1 or 2 degrees (positive/negative) depending on whatever..
