I slid the front into the clamshell ....no problem

I slid it back out a lil' to get it to bolt up to the Moser... problem..

I tried getting the bottom bolts in first and left them loose...banged the bejesus out of it to get the top ones to line up with no luck.

 

try putting a jack under the rearend. with it not being connected to the torque arm it should tilt so that the holes line up. it always works for me.

 

I had to stick my breaker bar through the tubes on the Edelbrock I have to twist the T/A to line up the top holes. 2 people help on this -- one to twist, one to thread.

Edit -- yeah, already had a jack under rear housing to line it up that way.

 

OK...thanks guys...thought maybe it was tweaked or something.

 

It also helped me to put the back side on the rear housing first, and push a bolt up through the holes, then feed the other one down, and reverse the first one.

I don't have a 12-bolt, but that's how I do it on my 10-bolt.

 

After a whole hell of alot of playing, just wanted to post up what I did in order to get this bad boy in.

Car was backed up on ramps
Jack the passenger side up about 2-3"
Remove the clamshell completly from the front...torque arm needs to go UP into the tunnel
Bolt up the rear of the torque arm. If you are using a Moser rear end, USE LOCKTITE RED!
Pull down on the front of the torque arm using a large pry bar. (I used a long screw driver) Be careful not to hit those brake/fuel lines! Replace rubber mount and bolt.
