John thank you & I found it, might be a good read. mopar1.us/band.html then click on band adjustment.

I know you cant believe everything on the 'net but he explained it, it did make good sense. Maybe I can take a pic of the writing & post it, if not, John is 1&1/2 turns good on both of em? EDIT I dont have the skills to post a link to it

I read an interesting piece on this which said snug both bands (driveshaft wont turn either way) then back off each till the driveshaft will lightly turn (opposite rotation for each band) then loosen another 1/2 turn & lock down the nut. I did this on the band on the side but on the inside band...

Kim I will do exactly that. thank you again. RR

Good info Kim, much appreciated. the 3/8 I needed that to get some longer ones. right now the jack stands are under the 8&3/4 & on the front subframe(s). the car does appear to be level or real close to it. With cement blocks I have my weight on the seat & 9/10 of a full fuel cell of gas weight...

63 dart stock car. 360/904 8&3/4 high banked 1/3 mile dirt track. after I get the pinion angle where I want it (going by a utube vid) how many additional degrees downward should I set it to compensate for pinion rise on acceleration? and what is the diameter of the main center thru bolt that...

yes I will be doing it in the car. sounds doable. thank you or the info/help. RR

360 & pretty much stock 904. on the track I'm in 3rd at pretty much a cruise till they drop the green flag. It has been suggested that I go to a 4.2 lever. I will be going in the pan to adj the line psi & I am wondering how involved it is to swap it out. thank you for your time. RR

My mind was not made up at the time (& it still isn't). I'm absorbing as much quality info as I can. RR

will do Kimmer

a guy posted that he loosened both nuts/shanks then tightened one till the driveshaft can just be turned with one hand then loosen it another 1/2 turn then locking it down then the same way with the other band except you turn the driveshaft the other way. I may have missed repeating something...

I can get a 4.2 lever & was going to back off the allen bolt on the side that I had read about (they said leave several threads, just enough so it stays engaged). I have the t wrench/socket & I will see of I can find the commando specs (I will google it). If no luck where should I search next...

67 up 904. will be pulling the VB & wondering what I should adj the inside band to while I am in there, (snug & how many turn out?). shifts normally up thru the gears then mashed in third gear (if that info helps).thank you for your time. RR

Thanks RT & I found Toms book & it says to work outward in a circle like you do with heads/intake

I have seen it posted but cant find it anywhere. does anybody know where I should look? thank you for your time. RR

Yes welded spiders. I will take your advice professor

good comprehensive info & very much appreciated. Thanks guys, I will make some changes. RR

good info, I'll get on it. Thanks guys. RR

getting ready to order some Dr Diff axles. it wants to know if for 30 or 35 splines. this is afaik a stock 5:57 gearset. thank you for your time. RR EDIT and would I want to go with green bearings or stock type tapered roller bearings (dirt track stock car, high side loads I'm sure).

^^^ ding ding ding I do believe we have a winna!

circle track 63 dart with 8&3/4 5:57 with welded spiders. I went to O'reillys to return some rented tools (what a gift/much appreciated) & bought a gallon of 75-140 non synthetic gear oil. the manager told me that synthetic would be a better choice as it dissipates heat better & should I stay...

Rusty I will measure, thank you. I don't need any surprises on this!

Professor, much appreciated, I'll measure, gonna be close

have a 7&1/4 in a 73 dart & the mag wheels/tires are very close to the outer fender. I would like to swap to an 8&3/4. Are these pretty much the same total width? thank you for your time. RR

the wheelwell radius has been trimmed to where all of the wheel/tire is visible from the side tho you dont want the tire/wheel to stick out past the fender cuz when your bumped (& you will be!) it would flatten the tire. I think I'm gonna be good on the wheel/tire to spring clearance. I will...

Good info, thank you very much blu. with the pattern change obviously I wont be able to throw the rim on there right now till I get the rears swapped but I will measure as best as I can this afternoon & with the SBP 8&3/4 being a bit longer I might get lucky! thank you again. RR

CORRECTION: my mistake, this is a BBP 7&1/4 going to SBP 8&3/4 and unfortunately spacers ain't allowed in the class. I will measure the SBP 15 x 7 wheels that I have, the backspace & post it later but it is deep. RR

is the end to end wheel flange distance pretty much the same for the two? I'm swapping rears & having potential wheel backspace clearance issues from wheel/tire to leaf springs. I am not in a position to measure everything right now. any thoughts? thank you for your time. RR

I just checked Mancini & theres have the gripper pattern & the radius. I'm on it! thanks guys. RR

If I cannot find a set of used ubolts I might have to go new & there's tons of em on ebay & & I would want to get the correct ones. Thank you for your time. RR
