Gonna have a guy w/ 35 years experience set them up. I don't want to take any chances with the last new set known to exsist. With new bearings, the gears, another chunk and labor I'll have over 1K in it.
Just make sure he is familiar with the Mowog ones. The offset marked on the end of the pinion is from a jig set in place of the bearings. Its not quite the same as fords and chevys. In the end though, the prussian blue painted on the gears will tell the tale. If he does good work and guarantees it, then its probably worth the money. I didn't replace any of my bearings. I checked them for smoothness and play and they were within specs. So far, so good.
I got too other midgets besides my one with the 3.55 in it. One is a junker and the other is a 77 that I am putting a BE nose on.
The one I am working on and the junker are both rubber bumpers.
They might both had 3.9 or one or both might have 3.7 in them.
If one is 3.7 then I might swap with the 3.55 and give the 1500 the 3.55 and the 3.7 and 5 speed in the 1275.
I go to get rid of that rolling junker before I make a race car out of it :wink:
