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?

This is the tool to set pinion depth, the procedure is in the factory manual but also read the Sportomatic section as it is much more detailed in the procedure description although the numbers are different.
  After the pinion depth is set the backlash needs to be set. Spacers under the carrier bearings need to be replaced as necessary to position the ring gear in the correct position. The difficult part is not destroying the bearing cages pulling them off and replacing the spacers.   The backlash is measured with this type of rig.   The results can be very satisfying.  |
