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?

Part of the issue here is that the transaxle was rebuilt by someone maybe 40 years ago. A-F-M-S-X. I replaced the X with a ZD stock 5th gear. So, the spacers which maybe were set up correctly are now mixed up, which has precipitated this entire train of thought.
