Default Re: Lincoln-based Columbia OD

Adriatic, One thing you'll want to do is to add a breather to the rear end somewhere, normally halfway along the LH axle tube, certainly not in line with crownwheel or something that will throw oil outta said breather. The reason the Lincoln set up requires a breather, and the Ford units don't, is because the Lincoln hypoid rear is sealed, whereas the Ford units are not.
Although, you're probably running Lincoln housings anyway, which should have the breather already.
