Adjusting Ring & Pinion Backlash
#11
#12
It is an original one with 3.27s so I'm going to measure the pinion depth in that rear end then get mine to match up with that one. Hopefully it works. I still have some axle movement out the passenger side so I figure the pinion depth needs to come towards the ring about .005 so then I can move the backlash over a similar amount more to the driver side.

I actually happen to have a 1997 stock cobra rear end laying around because my brother is putting it in his 70 mach 1. I'm almost done making a pinion depth tool that mounts with the differential cap bolts.
