I broke the car... again...
I have been working on getting my new 360/727 dialed in on my 68 cuda and had a driveshaft issue and rear trans leak. Today I recieved my new Spicer 1350 shaft and pinion and got it installed, ran it for a shakedown test and on a very robust "roast the tires through first gear" run :toothy10:... the rear end let go. It's a well worn original 8 3/4 3.23 pumpkin so was on the list to be redone anyway but I was hoping it would give me some more cruzin time before the big boom. Still was a fun pull 8)...
I probably screwed up the pinion preload when I changed the pinion over to 1350 but it could also be just time to replace.
