WHAT:Selecting a rearend gear ratio (ring & pinion set) to provide the desired highway cruising speed, 60—65 MPH, for a modern hot rod. HOW:A number of factors must be considered when selecting a rearend gear ratio (ring & pinion set). Tire diameter, transmission choice (with or without overdrive) and desired highway cruising speed. Tire diameter… Continue reading Gearing/Gear Ratios

What: Solving the problem of driveline vibration. Driveline geometry. The process that can be used to address a condition called driveline/universal joint cancellation, often referred to as adjusting pinion angle. This process can be used to eliminate the vibration and premature wear caused by improper orientation and phasing of the driveline. This condition is caused because… Continue reading Drive Shaft Harmonics Driveline/Universal Joint Cancellation By: Jim Clark, Hot Rod M.D.
