Now that my differential and transmission are rebuilt I can start installing all the new parts on my frame:-)

Had a look through my new parts boxes tonight:-)

PS: i gathered up the parts related to the rear tonight, found I didn't order the rear axle bumpers :-( no delay just that I spent an hour looking for something I don't have.

The one remaining rear end task to do is to set up the pinion gear to side gear/clutch clearance.

Nick Morocco showed me how the whole assembly works and we only had a limited time to assemble and set up the rear so this was left for me (the trained differential guy:-)

Supercars Unlimited details the shimming process in this link, 0.001&quot; to 0.005&quot; backlash when the side gear is pushed tight into the carrier with the special tool (Big flat screw driver) I set up each side with the shims provided but need more shims as the kit only comes with four 0.006&quot; shims, each side works out perfectly with the 0.024&quot; so I will order.

You can see in this picture I am setting the clearance on the clutches on the ring gear side and the non ring gear side gear/clutches/friction plates/spacers are out.

I really enjoy learning this stuff!!

Accomplishment #2 last night............. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes:-)

Beautiful, Oldsmobile loving wife buys shoes, I buy rims.

Thanks Robert D'Antonio: he sold me the rims off El Malo, from one W31 to another.

These are the 1969 14 X 6 SS11's, notice the trim ring is smaller and sharper lines than the 14 X 7 ring.

I love the look of these:-) Some guys hate them, whatever!! (MINE)

Here is a good link for Oldsmobile rims.

Good for you that you got them. I assume you will be picking them up at MCACN?

Well done Bob [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Bob dislikes these:-)
