I am putting in a Quaife TBD. I pulled the shims/spacers off the old differential. and did not note which went where. One is around .010" thicker than the other. Was this how they set up ring and pinions back in the old days? Is there a spec for this somewhere?

When you change differentials, the backlash and preload need to be reset so the ring gear meshes correctly with the pinion. Since you are changing, the shims may be different than what was needed for your old differential. Dr. Evil can point you in the right direction or just do the work for you. Not necessarily complicated, but precise and requiring some special tools.
