Are you sure about the different driveshaft?  I recall using my original driveshaft when I swapped from 10-bolt to 12-bolt.  The different u-joint does seem to come to mind, though.   -Dave     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sen

Can use the same driveshaft. I did a swap last fall and used the same driveshaft. Don't remember any difference in the U-joints either. The U-joint connection to the rear is different (bolts and strap instead of u-bolt and nuts) but the U-joints were the same. Trooper - Original Message -

It depends on what pinion yoke was used on the 12 bolt.  There were like 3 or 4 different ones.  High performance cars (IE L78, L89, LS6) got a 1350 series pinion yoke which were much bigger than than the normal stock 1310 series.  There are also variations of how the caps set in the yoke also.

I have been hearing some pinging if I jump on the pedal so I decided to try advancing the timing a little. I don’t have a timing scale on the cover, so I have to do it by ear. It sounds better as I advance it, but unfortunately there is not very much throw before the vacuum advance hits the

Rotating the distributor clockwise retards the timing and rotating if counterclockwise gives you more initial advance. It may be that you need more octane. What compression are you running? Too much advance leads to detonation (pinging). I have also heard that running the wrong heat range of

TO get rid of the ping, you need to retard the timing a tad, try about 4 degrees and give yourself about 32-34 degrees of total timing.  Running a higher grade fuel will also help eliminate a pinging problem.   Tom

Yes, rotating the distributor body clockwise retards the timing, but that means that rotating the shaft clockwise does the opposite. Itâs all relative.   John Nasta       -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:
