I went to pay another twenty once to look inside :🤣 but she slapped my hand!

statement was not implying the bell housing HAS to be remove. technically I should have printed:: IF the bell housing IS removed'; and reinstalled,

back in the day of listening to the "teachers of build" .oo8 was too far out for precision, can't explain the mechanical world I was so fortunate to have grown up with: Teachers that knew by experience, Before computers/ AOL . learning from one of the best::: James Cassidy on 318's ;; to build/ start and PERFETLY set a DD 318 . tips of the stacks were blue. SO THANKFUL I AM

as our Grandparents hated rock/roll ; the mechanical world also deals with changes ; not always a positive, between robots/ AOL ;pride (NOT RAINBOW STYLE ) in work is gone. the 866 I got running today could almost bring tears,a feeling most will never experience. so sad

not to off topic "" but I still have a 6 + 1 spicer on a jack waiting for rebuilt !! such a changing world no one knows or wants to know how to fix things.

Have to keep these "youngsters' their toes !!!! LOL

over due coffee time/or??Yukon Jack.

I know it's the Yukon jack speaking after a long day out in the sun working on the superliner then going 10 miles down road to service a KW for Tomorrow.. LOL

I wasn't

to build a true machine '' truck or other wise ;; removing the bellhousing and reinstall included the dial-indicating of the bell housing to eliminate vibration.!!

the R's with v8 Chryslers were R=400

NO I am referring to a '66 GT 350 Shelby mustang blue with 2 ==10 in white stripes down the middle front to back. back seat room was to ???????? 😁

the fun times a new generation will never get to experience; so sad

'66 GT350 Shelby blue 2 -10 in white stripes 👍 double dated with girlfriends sister/ boyfriend, he owned the car . back seat cozy

nope Your not. just don't get caught chasing squirrels around the yard.

If memory is correct the 290 in a 9000 was like the U model macks ;; part in the cab with dog house AND sat on a slant. with the 4 corner head bolts at 325 . my back has a better memory then I do about certain moments.

there should be as you said an end on the drive side which "plugs in to" the cable housing, most are 1 +- long having 1/8th in shaft with flat spot which goes in to tach drive. opposite end round barrel having internal square for cable to fit in to. no cable end =start there, with all safety concerns met. remove cable from eng drive side start eng see if the center is spinning. with end installed on cable drive side spin by hand = old days a second person watched the tach in cab. today guess a person puts their phone on steering wheel while in video mode ?? have seen many cables missing drive fitting. rare occasion the drive gear under the two bolt housing failed .

throwing/giving away the major down fall of moving. my auction had a full page of items that went. that doesn't count "truck load " of stuff I gave away before auction. toys/ tools

don't think Your alone on that. wait till you get old !! I opened the superliner hood today checking the return grommets between the heads ;; sit here now = haven't a clue the space between front feet.

Father had a '56 ford F100 which he put a large plastic liner/filled it with water and neighbor hood kids got in the back as he drove around town with his "Mobile swimming pool" , and we didn't have life preservers on.

basically all the conventionals , R/U/DM's had front leggs on a base, some B's only had the small base.

the cab over dogs such as yours and F models only stood on hind legs. the R's/Dm's / U's apparently needed more support having a pedestal.

not going to do you much good now ; BUT every time we moved I gave stuff away. half bulldogs/ hood with pedestal bull dogs / books/literature ! have to stop thinking before I get upset stomach. ☹️

thank you for info.
