8 3/4 Assembly??

[1968 Valiant]

Hey all I picked up an 8 3/4 out of a 67 Barracuda. The Measurments are all correct for an a-body per your guys intruction.

It was originally a sure-grip rear end but the pumpkin had been sold. The rear end is complete lug nut to lug nut with the exception on the missing center section.
I bought an open gear complete center section and now I want to assemble it.

Can anyone give me instruction on this? Im not new to rear ends but I am unclear on the "adjustment" part. And any other things I would need to know that might pop up in particular to this rear end.

Thanks

Other than this you might see if you can find a factory service manual.
