Saw this on an eBay auction for an unusual magazine. It's from 1962.

I think it refers to adding shims to the transmission mount on the cross-member to achieve optimum u-joint angle /pinion angle...

sounds like they shimmed the trans gears to get it to shift better for racing
probably the Borg Warner trans before the 1963 Muncies

earliest Yenko catalog I have is 1964 and it has many parts for SCCA competition or hi po street use

Yenko had a special shop to do hi po work and had a chassis dyno in the mid 1960s
common today but then it wasn't
