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?

Wow, @mgphoto , nice setup. I ended up simply making a go-no-go gauge with my old open differential. I cleaned off the R&P really well, and put some R&P schmutz on the mating surfaces. So, I set it up with the thinner spacer on the fixed cover side, and the thicker one on the removable side cover side, and it was riding almost identically to where it was before. I called it good, and put it back together.
