Story: I got a 74 hpd44 housing with bearing caps and took the guts out of my 78 hpd44 and swapped them in the 74. The 74 axle didn't have the carrier or pinion or anything in it, so as far as where to go with the shims, I was clueless. It's taken me about 5 hours to get the pinion bearing preload set, not sure what the problem was, but .002 made a 20 in/lbs difference in preload. . . anyhow, once I got the pinion preload good, I set the backlash at .009. Now the wierd part:
ring gear side shims: .078
nonring gear side: 0
innerpinion shims: .020
outer pinion shims:.035
I ran a couple patterns and I'm not sure where to go on this. Hope your guys can deciper my pictures, my cameras on its way out.
Also, it's a used gearset, I understand that's going to throw the pattern off from a new gearset pattern, or at least that's what randy says.
