Bay area help needed to install suregrip?
This might not be as hard as you think. You have what? I'm guessing a functional 8 1/4 "single" and yo want to use the same ring/ pinion which is properly set up?
If that's the case, there are only "a couple" things to worry about as the pinion should already be correct........
You need to set up bearing preload on the side gears, and walk them in until you get the backlash right in the ring / pinion. This is covered in the shop manuals. Main thing you need is a dial indicator
Below, EG is right out of the 72 shop manual
You should not have to worry about the gear tooth contact pattern as I'm assuming the pinion was already properly installed.
