Ford 8in / 9in Ring and Pinion Gears Install. With Pinion Preload, Gear BackLash, Pinion Depth Tool

I was installing new ring and pinion gears into an 8in rearend, for a 1968 Ford Torino GT, and decided to film the 3.80 gear swap process. Its basically the same procedure for a 9 inch rearend. I did my best to do everything as good as possible, but I did make a couple mistakes that i talk about, and would do a couple things different the next time around. I talk about a lot of general gear swap info, show the pinion preload, doing gear backlash measurement, and the ring and pinion contact patterns. I used a pinion depth tool, and talk about the process. I did make a general instruction sheet for the whole process. Here is the link to the page with the instructions. http://desertratracer.com/ford-8in-9i... If you have any questions please leave a comment, and I will get back to you.
