    8 3/4 pinion seal and rear axle collar adjuster

    They are an easier way to go but, if you like to corner carve, then the tapered bearings are a better way to go. A single ball bearing per side doesn't take side loading as good as the tapered bearings do.

    8 3/4 pinion seal and rear axle collar adjuster

    Keep in mind that anything new you get will most likely be from China. Also depending on the gears you get, pay attention to the radius at the bearing fit. Shim fit is important there as some of this overseas stuff will have a larger radius and can interfere with the shims. A larger radius is...

    8 3/4 pinion seal and rear axle collar adjuster

    8 3/4 pinion seal and rear axle collar adjuster

    I'm thinking it was probably already weakened. Do you know if a driveshaft ever got spit off of it? Doubt that could happen....

    How big of an impact were you using?? 3/4" drive? I've done a lot of work on 8 3/4's and have never done that but I don't use the big impacts.

    8 3/4 pinion seal and rear axle collar adjuster

    When you adjust the axle end play, do it when the car is cold and iirc, you should have .013-.023" end play. I've always done it by feel even though I have a dial indicator and never had an issue. Just make sure you don't get it too tight. When the axles get hot, they do expand and will close up...

    1973 Newport

    The speedo is run off of a cable from the trans. No generator but alternator....could be something as simple as a wire not connected or something major as a melted wire. Fuel gauge may be the sender in the tank. Just have to do some testing. Do you have a factory repair manual? You can usually...
