Murf,
Just take your car down to Tom Wilhite, drop it off, tell him to FIX it, be done with it!!!

If turns only you could be feeling the posi working

Agreed, sometimes it takes two full bottles of friction modifier for the posi to operate properly. Maybe start with adding half a bottle and see if that helps.

I know this is begging for a rear end and lube joke right now but I’ll behave.

Some of you may remember me posting questions about carb & ignition tuning, as I was having low speed drivability issues. The car was tugging & bucking, kinda like it was in too high of gear for the speed of the car. I’ve done a lot of messing with carb and timing adjustments to no avail.

I decided to see if it could be driveline related. One shop told me, “ there’s no way you can tell, unless you check backlash with a dial indicator. Which I don’t have & they weren’t interested in checking it out for me. Anyway I slid under it & tried to check it out. Looks excessive to me but I don’t know anything anyway. Gonna try & post a video. Please tell me what you think.

Is this an auto or a stick shift and does it have a bit of cam in it.
My 4-speed Tempest does this if going to slow in a certain gear.
Nothing wrong with the rear in my car either. But you can feel the
cam in it when I lug the motor down to much. hopr this helps

Well, yeah there is that. 😁 Always a pleasure to see Tom & Sharon, though it’s been awhile!

How are you getting along?

Stick with 3.08 gears & tall tires. It will do it straight line or turning. I think I notice it more when turning because I don’t generally drive with very light throttle in a straight line. 😁 I‘be got my diagnostic tach wired up ready for a test drive but haven’t be able to check it yet. FIL is having health problems & we’re his support system.
I’ll report back after some testing driving with a tach hooked up. That may shed some light on what’s happening.

Thanks again to all!
