70 dart 470 ci drag car build.

Okay I think I got it.
I added .050 shim behind pinion bearing race and sacrificed a bearing on the passenger side to add in additional .015 to give room for more depth.
Picture sucks but I think this is probably as good as it can get unless I got some other sized shims like some .005s.

Oh and 30 inch pounds on the preload.
I'll reclean all this **** at work tomorrow but I think it's okay now.

Looking good! Now you know why the s60 with side adjusters is so darn popular. I have a case spreader which helps, yet it is still a PITA to load the carrier with shims in a stock D60. If you ever see one with a spun race you will be a believer in preload.
