Drive shaft angle for Everett Morrison

[Ralphy]

Tom,
Your a hell of a guy, always quick to help. Triged a 10" drive shaft and 3 degrees puts you .520 below the tailshaft.

MJHCOBRA there is an EM board here.

Oh! I see you have already been.

I'm using a standard Ford trans mount for a toploader. When I upgraded to the Tremec, I had to install a 1/2" spacer between the trans and and trans mount to locate the tail shaft in the same location as the toploader tailshaft. The chassis has the removable crossmember. The adjusting rings are at the bottom of the shocks.The space between the tire and the fender flange is acceptable, but I wouldn't mind being able to close the gap up a little bit. Everett-Morrison bodies seem to be a little high in the rear.

Ralphy, Thanks for the kind words. Still working on your manual. I'll get it to you.

The only difference between our cars appears to be the pinion angle as mine is set up at 0 degrees. I will assume that your trans with the shim puts the trans back to what EM designed for. Thanks for your time comparing shocks.

What are you using for tires and wheels and what offsets did you use?

I have the Versailles 9" axle housing so I need to know if the 3.65" offset with the 9.5" rims is what I need to order from Vintage. I will be using 295/50r15's for the rear and 245/60r15's for the front.

Thanks again Tom.

I can not seem to find the receipt for my wheels, so I can't accurately tell you the width and offset, but I know the rear wheels are less than 9 1/2" wide. The axle housing is 57" flange to flange. I'm running BFG. 275/60X15 tires on Image Modular wheels. I hung a plumb bob off the rear fender and measured the distance from the widest section of the flange to the fattest section of sidewall and got 1 1/4". I know this info doesn't help much without knowing the offset and width of the wheel. I'm still looking for the receipt. I'll get back to you then.
