I have made a solid spacer to take place of the crush sleeve. Going from the specs out of the old Performance American Style book, I did not see any specs on what to torque the pinion nut if you use a solid spacer. What is your opinion on how much to torque. Thanks Paul

The pinion on the AMC20 is torqued until bearing preload is correct. That's where the crush sleeve comes in. I don't see how you could achieve this with a solid sleeve unless it's a little under and you use shims. On a Dana 30 or 44 which uses shims, the spec is 200-220 ft/lbs.
