[FC] diff noise

[Bill Wells]

Garry,
   
  The noise you describe sounds like a pinion depth problem. This can be caused by incorrect shim depth, bad pinion bearing, or not having the snout fully seated during rebuild.
  I would drop the drivetrain, remove the top cover and look at the contact pattern. It is possible to do by removing the rear seat and access panel, but I feel dropping the drivetrain is easier.
  Talk to you Saturday,
  Bill Wells

  Hi All,

Just finished the new engine, diff, and brakes in my '65 Brier and have 
been test running for a few days and working out the last few bugs. Last 
one haunting me is a differential howl during coast, most noticeable 
when letting off the gas at highway speeds. Acceleration and steady 
speeds are no problem. I've been adjusting the side bearings to bring 
the ring gear tighter into the pinion, which has helped somewhat, but am 
I missing anything else? I don't want to destroy anything right off the 
bat, or have to pull the drivetrain again, but I sure don't want to 
listen to that forever. Manual talks about the adjustments, but doesn't 
say which way for which noise. Thanks.
