one thing i caught, dude says all output shaft speedo drive gears are the same, AFAIK there are 3 different tooth counts cut into the steel shaft. some rear gear / tire size combinations are not correctable with the driven gear so you need to start with a suitable tooth count for your application and another ------------- 72 GT Ute |

Thank you for posting this Rock! Yes, 3 different spline counts, 7, 8 and 9. I do know the long tail shaft C6's have 7 splines/grooves for speedo gear. ------------- www.supermotors.net/22468 Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires.

The guy's son was getting ripped pretty good by builders who specialized in racing applications. The young man kept saying how they were wrong and his dad is the best ever. It was humorous to say the least. There are definitely many good builders out there and the videos are a wealth of knowledge. Building a trac-lok 3.25 9" with guidance from a guy named Tom on YouTube. Well done.

I follow these guys on YouTube..the old man is pretty knowledgeable, but I agree with you guys...there’s a lot of other good builders out there and not really necessary to trash talk the whole time. Would like to see some assembly videos from them. Seems like most of their vids are disassembly or Chevy videos Frank

IN the case of automatics vs the Toploader 4 speed stuff, I learned when I went to the 72 GTS, Toploader seeds gears and output Shafter speedo gear are an opposite helix of the automatics. Never understood why but FoMoCo Engineers probably had their reasons. -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |
