- Keith: When you broke that pinion last year was it a 28 or 31 spline pinion? Listers, how much horsepower can you put to a stock 28 spline 9" Ford pinion before you should consider upgrading? And whe

- I broke the 9" Ford pinion because the torque setting on the pinion yolk was wrong... or at least that's my take on it... There is a problem with installing the driveshaft which requires the yolk be

- The pinion was old and it had nothing to do with the amount of engine power.. If it had been magnafluxed i doubt if it would have passed. Dave

- 3liter - Keep in mind the stress on the ring and pinion and the axels is a function of the pinion radius and the traction - When you compare ratios and traction there could be a 8:1 diference between

- Good point. One of the top Bonneville roadster racers recently told me he uses a V8 quickchange rear axle without a spool and over 1000 horsepower there with good results. But he wouldn't think of us

- Keith and Dave, many thanks for the information. A stock 9" Ford pinion was available in both 28 & 31 splines. I thought Keith might have overpowered the 28 spline pinion. Thanks to your response, I

- That is good info. I knew stock fords had 28 and 31 spline axles but all stock 9" pinions were 28 spline. Bob

- Sorry Bob. . . just a wee bit too much eggnog! I was thinking of the Richmond 35 spline Pro ring and pinion for the 9" Ford. There was not a stock 31 spline pinion. -Elon
