I'm not sure anyone is contradicting your diagram.
But here is a diagram that expands on the angles. I don't have a clearer picture of it - this was provided by @1 Wild R/T some time ago. I have stated, and will continue to state, that when I followed this (first diagram in picture below), that...
So first, thanks for carrying on a conversation like adults without resorting to name calling. :thumbsup: It's a shame so many threads break down to that!
1) I acknowledge my memory of what I read and what I wrote in my final results do not match.
My final results (last link in post #10) say...
Here is the thread where my issue was discussed.
At my wits end: Need help with driveline vibration
Look especially at this post: At my wits end: Need help with driveline vibration
The picture is a bit hard to see, but zoom in to the top of the picture.
When I did what the top picture...
Remember that our Mopars have leaf springs and pinion snubbers. There is a good reason for the pinion snubbers because the pinion rotates up under load.
A Chevy 4 link holds the pinion at a constant angle. For those applications you want the engine and transmission down a few degrees (I've read...
I went through hell with my 73 Road Runner for a number of years. It had a driveline vibration.
A lot of information about pinion angle deals with cars that do not have leaf springs. Bottom line is that for leaf springs, a good target is 4* down for engine and transmission (they are the same)...
Wow, they have a lot of Hellcats.
Some of the "normal" redeyes are actually discounted from the MSRP. But the dealer is charging about $125,000 OVER MSRP for the Demon 170! Yikes!
The car pops in the light!
Barry has some small 14" rally wheels and tires (these are just temporary rollers). But the car now sits on its rear suspension
And, I temporarily put on a little bling to check it out - it makes the car and paint contrast really nicely. I can't wait to get...
Same as many of you guys - my dad wasn't handy.
My dad was a "bottom feeder" from a car perspective. He believed in buying old cars, driving them for a few years, and then selling them off when they became too unreliable. He did this to save money, and cars were just basic transportation to...
The easiest way to try is by changing your flex plate. To change your flex plate, you do not need to remove the transmission or the torque converter. Unbolt your old flex plate, slide it out and slide in a weighted one.
For example:
The only caveat is I have done this with a flex plate that...
You absolutely did, and I insisted on "helping you" by wrongly assuming the Satellite had the signals on the fenders, not the hood!
As stated, I stand corrected, BUT I learned something, so that is not a bad thing! :)
My 70 Road Runner with a 500 Cubic inch torque monster (675 lb ft of torque) made 16.9 MPG on the highway coming home from the 2023 Power Tour. Our average speed was in the mid 70's, with most of the last couple of hours at 80 MH. I was impressed!
Yes, I have a .7:1 Passion A-855 overdrive...
OK, so you spend $60 on an oil change. How much would you spend on an engine rebuild?!? (I know you agree with me, just making the point) :thumbsup:
I totally agree with using a good oil, with controlled levels of ZDDP (and other additives) made for our old cars.
And, not to be captain obvious here:
But the changes that may be needed for a internally vs externally balanced engine does not affect the transmission itself, but rather the torque converter (or flexplate).
OK, dammit, this is the second time I've had to type this (I'm so exhausted!)
Hope you have a great one!
