Made my first real miles today after a 360, 833, 8.75, and disc swap. I went to the muffler shop and got my exhaust done. Everything went pretty well. Have a slight leak around the oil filter adapter and bolt. I tightened it a little and crossed my fingers. It wasn’t real tight. I also noticed I’ve got a pretty good tailshaft seal leak. I did put a new tailshaft seal in it before I put it in the car. I got it from Brewers. I also put in a new Brewers yoke. I installed the seal with the hole at the top as well. It’s a pretty good leak. Shamefully I admit I didn’t have a seal driver to fit this seal. I used a brass drift and carefully put it in. Seemed to seat well although it buggered it a slight amount. It’s leaking from the boot part for sure. The boot is probably 1/16” or slightly less OFF the yoke. Almost giving me the impression I have the wrong seal. Is there another seal that is slightly larger and perhaps I got the wrong one ? This is a non overdrive trans. It does not have any vibrations or anything that would lead me to believe the bushing is shot. Thanks for any ideas or help.
Edit- the seal is probably .030” or so off the yoke. The boot does not touch the yoke.
