I bought a 67 charger in October, it needs a ton of TLC. I took the open 8 3/4 apart and replaced the open center with a cone type sure grip. When I put it back together I cannot get a good pattern on the ring gear. It is heavy on the toe drive side and heavy on the heal coast side. According to the service manual I need to put in a smaller shim on the pinion gear. I did not look at the pattern before I took it apart, I made the obvious bad decision and assumed it was done correctly. I had the back lash set at .007~.008 over 4 places on the ring gear. So here is my question, can I re-shim the pinion without making the gear set noisy? I do not know if it was noisy before I took it apart, I haven’t driven it.
