Second hit, took out .011 out of pinion, back lash @ .007-.008.
Pinion depth on drive side looks better, a little shallow on coast and backlash needs to tighten up a bit.
This is my first attempt at rebuilding an 8 3/4, 489 case using crush sleeve eliminater, new Richmond 3.91 gear set and reworked cone style sure-grip.
First hit looks to me like the pinion is a bit too deep. .038 under the bearing and backlash set at .007.
It hasn’t been an issue in the past but I just did a refresh and with a slight increase in compression it might become one.
I do have an ignition kill switch so I guess if cranking becomes an issue I’ll try using that.
Thanks
Has anyone used MSD 8984 starter saver with a locked mopar electronic distributor and 6al box? The instructions states must be used with MSD distributor or crank trigger or magnetic trigger dist.
