It's not so much about what ratio you are installing, it's more about the checking distance (cd) marked on the pinion. Install the new pinion with the right shims to put it in the same location as the original, then use side shims with the carrier to achieve the correct backlash. Sometimes you can reuse the original shims, sometimes you need different ones.

I am installing a 400 Pontiac V8 in my 1975 Pontiac Firebird in place of the 6 cylinder What bolt holes do you use for the V8 Motor mounts Help me?
Are you asking which ones to use on the block itself? What year of block do you have. Pontiac has basically 3 styles. The first is a two bolt design up to '68. The second is a 5 bolt design..from '69-'75. Then a 3 bolt design from '76 to '79. I'm going to assume you have a 5 bolt design. You will need the engine mount brackets from a '69 and up Firebird with a Pontiac V-8. It will use 3 of the bolt holes in the block. The upper hole and two of the lower holes. Buy the correct rubber mounts to install on the frame and you are good to go. Hope that helps.

How do you replace pinion bearings on s10 blazer 4wd?
Buy a manual first.Remove drive shaft,remove pinion bolt,remove differential cover and drain oil.you will need to remove the axles and the carrier.Then the pinion itself.You will need to have a press to remove and replace the bearings.New crush washer (I am assuming it uses one)You need to be able to set gear lash after replacing the pinion.It is a tedious job requiring special equipment.you will need some way to hold the pinion flange while you set the bearing preload with a torque wrench. As you can see this is quite a job.It can be done but you need a good manual first,a factory service manual is best.You will need to buy or rent a bunch of tools.Then read and take your time and you will get it.
