    The forward gear bushing may have been set in place too far back in the gear housing.  I’m talking  a few thousands.  Put the gear case nose down on the bench and give the prop shaft a confident wack forward with a steel hammer.  Don’t mushroom the thing, just whack it. It may move the forward bushing enough just enough to put everything within tolerance.  I just ran into this on a 1976 six.

    Long live American manufacturing!
