Another How Does This Pattern Look Question

[bobscuda67]

I'm setting up a 8 1/4 for my car and was wondering if this pattern looks like it's close. I have .074 of shims in it and backlash is set at .008. The old shim was a .069 that was in it when I bought it.
Hopefully you can see enough detail in the pictures, as they were taken with a cell phone. Thanks.

Go to a .070 see if you can get it just out or center a bit more. . . . Drive side is toward the root a bit much, even though cost is also, it doesn't seem as bad.

Re-set the rest as is, just bring the pin out a bit

When i say out i mean, in.... or move the pin out from the root but in toward the housing...

Try .070 should be dead on with it

Drag only car ? leave it.... street ? then it may be a bit noisy for the street so use that .070

Hey thanks for reponding to my question.
So I set it up with the .070 shims and was wondering if you thought it's ok.
It doesn't look to me like it should be any closer to the edge of the tooth on the coast side.
I forgot to mention that it's a used gear set and it will be for street use only.

ok leave that..

when ever you use used gears it's a little different than new
