I agree with Casper. Properly setting up a differential is hard to explain in words. Experience is your best teacher.

NEVER install a used ring & pinion in a different rear end housing than the one that it came out of. You will never get the gear pattern to match up correctly & it will make all kinds of noise. The money that you will waste on gear lube & silicone trying to "fix" it could be spent on a new set of gears. You will be much more happy in the long run. I have built rear differentials for Ford for the last 16 years & I know what I am talking about.
