[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 14974857, member: 10303"] I have put the Quiktime Shield on a couple of cars (actually with the engine out and on a stand) and I used a method that was described over on ModFords. First thing I did was take the housing and lay it on a glass table (glass it usually perfectly flat. Then I used a dial readout to measure the "parallelity" of the front and back plate so the transmission would be guaranteed to be flat with the back plate of the engine/crank. Luckily it was withing the limits of the readout (less than 1/4 thousandth). If your measurement is off it is a very simple and inexpensive fix at any decent machine show. They would only need to remove a thousandth or less to make both flanges perfectly parallel. Then I drilled the alignment dowel holes slightly oversize. And with some super thick washers from McMaster Carr under each ARP bolt I adjusted the concentricity to absolute zero. (the washers were a perfect fit to the bolts with no side play at all). Some wshers will neeed to be honed to make the fit perfect. Loose is bad.!! Then when the bellhousing was absolutely, perfectly aligned with the crankshaft centerline I welded the washers to the bellhousing. Now it was perfectly aligned without any chance of a loose adjustable dowel moving during later assembly and screwing up the adjustment. No matter how many times you might pull it to do clutch adjustments. Don't forget to remove that nice black finish from under the washer where you are going to weld it. Here is a thread with pictures showing what I am referring to. The person that described this solution has come up with more practical solutions to Mod Motor problems than I even knew existed. Ed Scheider should put all his engineering work-arounds into a sticky. [url]http://www.modularfords.com/threads/187627-Tranny-is-Out[/url]! [/QUOTE]
