Trans to Rear Coupler Play

(1/5) > >>

161L:
Well I put the engine in the FED this weekend.  It has been awhile since I have had a car that uses a coupler between the trans and the rear end (my RED has a four link and a drive shaft) and I am looking for some guidance on how much play I should allow when setting up the coupler.

The car is a 200" S&W FED with a long powerglide and a ford 9" rear.

Any and all help is appreciated.

I usually go with an 1/8" or so

arush:
Strange Engineering recommends 1/8" to 3/16" end play.

rooman:
^^^^^^ Yep!

I appreciate the replies.

I'll post some pictures once I get further along with the project.

Thanks again

Steve
