The flat head type approach is probably the best option. There’s some small thermostats that could work well with 1” hoses and some custom housing...
[ATTACH] So I was down this road once before. It definitely does solve some problems and creates different ones. The biggest issue I couldn’t...
To the moon Alice Let me guess Since it’s lowered / The transmission is negative slope, The drive shaft is positive slope And the pinion you...
Well just about anything that violates rules #1 #2 & #3 is rule #4. 1,2,3 always work every time and always, that’s why they are rules. An...
Seems you know how to successfully navigate rule #4 and get the correct outcome. Equal but opposite means - opposing angles that intersect -...
He set it up that way
Nice and quiet here. maybe this should be a sticky :)
I’m guessing off of clues :)
@Budget36 ’s one post starts off with “ extreme example” - which is a very good way to show a problem. Then the example noted is “equal but...
^^^clearly found somewhere in rule 4 ^^^ There no clarity or clarification needed. Unless of course you’re into the imposter rule #4. Rules...
“ The fact is that those terms are used by some, and that can be why many people get mixed up about this subject. “ Yes it’s a clear an...
There’s really no debating it. It’s cut dry and simple. What you find is people trying to discuss the 4th rule.
I’ll just refer you here. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/pinion-angle-there%E2%80%99s-no-4th-rule.1301685/ the first half of your...
The fourth rule,,, Undoubtably and understandably, you’ve encountered this imposter 4th rule. It’s hard to ignore but worth the effort. Since this...
It can’t be that way, hence the mystery and confusion around pinion angles. The first rule is “everything viewed from the transmission to the...
Because terms are descriptive, terms define operations, terms are used to determine specific locations and in a written form of communication...
They probably don’t want to cut off factory hangers, get custom springs made, or move crossmembers. Lots of guys tell you they know how to...
You still haven’t watched the video yet have you? The spicer video , you brought the spicer link too I posted the video- where he physically...
Look at this part . Really really good. Same site, same page just a little further down. Calculating U-Joint Operating Angle View the vehicle...
It is considered either positive or negative depending on whether the slope points up or down when viewed from the transmission toward the rear of...
Wow - just wow. I know you didn’t watch the video, he clearly goes over it, Everything is towards the rear, not everything except the pinion,...
Watch the video . https://spicerparts.com/videos/measuring-driveline-operating-angles That picture as many out there are texted wrong....
You see here the shafts are parallel and graphically displayed correctly but some could say the “orientation” of visual representation is...
So what direction is the drive shaft going then? What direction is the flow of power and motion? Where is the descriptor of direction (...
Exactly! It’s just not ever going to happen in real life. If arguing from a platform of purely chalk board mathematics and geometry ....
from your pics there’s - Flat cross member Frame notch for spring clearance Extra deep drop axle Crossmember moved forward. Can’t tell if...
This one had the wheel base extended. crossmember moved forward and then moved up above the frame Doane Spencer’s roadster [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] This one ? That axle is definitely moved forward. and setting as low as it is I’m going to guess it’s crossmember is raised up...
Here’s what I’m seeing,, It’s supposed to mount on other head with that year water pump passenger side head is 1-1/2 ish forward of the...
Yes they did angle the windshield back Yes they did add chassis rake Yes they moved wheels and crossmembers altering the Wheel base. Yes they...
