I decided to adjust the front pinion angle and everything that goes with it. So with some help, we turned the squirrel around and I removed the front axle.
Saturday, I got the new intake manifold put on, the adapter completed and the propane carb installed. I also removed the computer and associated wiring. Then on Sunday afternoon, I removed the old spring perches and welded on the new ones. (The size difference is amazing

and they ought to help with the spring wrap that I was getting.)
The axle now needs to be disassembled so the the cut and turn on the knuckles can be done. I also need to rebuild the vacuum lockoff because the sami ran with no vacuum applied to the VFF-30
