Hi,
I've recently acquired a 1964 Valiant Signet 200 and know absolutely nothing about it. I purchased it from a classic car showroom after taking it for a test drive. All I know is that it has a mildly built 360 in it with a 8.25" rear. I'm doing a rear brake job and when I look at the rear end, the man who built this used a very tall pinion snubber setup (not stock looking). I'm wondering if this is causing a problem with a drive line vibration I'm getting. When the car rests on it's tires, should the pinion rest on the under-body or should there be a slight gap, I know springs will settle with time but wondering if the snubber setup currently is pushing the pinion angle too far down and I'm getting the vibration?
