    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    Good thinking, I did just do the rear axle bearings. After a long drive and experimenting, it looks like the vibe is the same whether coasting in neutral or full power... I know the driveshaft is still spinning either way but now I am thinking about possible tire imbalance.

    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    Need to look elsewhere for vibes I suppose now... u-joints, tire balance, etc. It's not terrible but noticeable going 65+ mph.

    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    Found the issue, stupid me I was measuring the transmission angle using the pan.. turns out the pan and valve body are not parallel to output shaft.. by 6 degrees. The actual angle, measured at the rear pad, was nose up by 1 degree. With the rake of the car, that is exactly what is normal. With...

    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    Just measured, centerline of crank is correct 5-1/4" above top of k-member. So... the transmission mount is too tall? The beer math says decreasing the transmission angle from 5 to zero would require a 2.5" drop of the rear mount... this isn't even possible with the tail shaft sitting 1.5" above...

    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    The transmission angle surprised me as well. Car had a very poorly done 318 to 360 swap, I have had to correct nearly everything from throttle brackets to kickdown operation to hardware used... maybe wrong motor mounts? I have never had any clearance issues with exhaust, and the fan appears...

    Correcting pinion and driveline angles by lowering transmission mount

    Friends, I am working through driveability improvements with the car and need some opinions on correcting pinion angle. I have caltracs and a higher-than stock ride height on my '67 satellite, which of course has changed driveline angles. At rest with weight on the wheels, transmission is...

    Trying to price interior parts 67 satellite

    Thanks for the advice, makes good sense. However, i swapped the whole interior into red, and if i did ever have to sell the car, it would likely be for less than a third of what i have into it, because it is a restomod, not original anything, and i drive it quite a bit. But point well taken...

    Trying to price interior parts 67 satellite

    Im 6’00 and i barely fit with the bench seat all the way back. Buckets were a solid 2-3” lower and farther back.

    I'm the nutjob that took the buckets out and put in a bench. Something about a bench seat and auto, just like that feel.
