Yet another Diff. question -
I picked up a nice 3:55 rear for my '76 at Carlisle, and am getting around to doing the swap. I realize now that it has the earlier pinion yoke, that takes the smaller u-joint. The car sees regular duty at the dragstrip (about 360hp at the flywheel, 700R4, BFG Drag Radials) and I did not want to go with a conversion u-joint. Can I swap the yoke without having the rear set up again. (In other words, will pinion depth remain the same based on the shims installed?)
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks a lot. Great news. So, do I just hit that nut with an impact gun, or is there a torque spec. for it. I'm worried about that crush-collar business, as I haven't worked on one of these yet.

I tried to change the small yoke to a large yoke on mine, but the pinion shaft was different spline and size. Had to go with a conversion u-joint.
