    Installing clutch type sure grip in a 489 just the differential. A few questions.

    Thanks KoolBee! I marked everything with center punch marks. Caps, locks, bearing capture nuts. Everything. Rechecked the backlash, pinion preload, and the gear pattern. Everything seem to come out perfect or at least the same as before I started. I can't believe the comparison on the gear tooth...

    Rotisserie question

    Yes the more the merrier. I found that table spoon did beautifully in the curve of the rear wheel wells. Just warm the metal till the undercoating starts to soften up. It will scrape right off. So much debate over whether your putting to much heat to the metal??? Just need to warm the metal. No...

    Rotisserie question

    Yes! They are great for that. Just stood there with propane torch a selection of scrapers and a wire brush and scotch pads. Did the whole underside of my 70 Charger in about 12 hours.

    Rotisserie question

    When mine was "perfectly balanced" she could sit anywhere on the 360* That's when she was empty. Mine has the locking wheel (sprocket cog) you can see it in the top photo. I only had the one. But there was jamb bolts on both ends to help steady her. I never used them only when I took her home...

    Rotisserie question

    So at 3 o'clock, the car is right on it's side? Door handle straight up? And at 6 o'clock, the roof would be right down. Correct? From what I think your saying, It sounds like its top heavy.

    Thanks Mike. Figured why not?? Have the lathe and the mill, why not use them. Where the studs are is on a flat. Hence the mill part. Took me longer to clean up than it did to make them. lol

    Installing clutch type sure grip in a 489 just the differential. A few questions.

    Well today was the day. Well to tear down my original differential any way. Marked every thing on it I could. Right down to the bolts and locks. Documented the adjuster positions and thread reveal. Once she was apart and cleaned up a bit more, it was time for blasting. Another page out Wayne's...
