you should spot were the set screws are with a spade drill in to the shaft then use a thread locker on sets

Just so you know in case you plan to make a pass at Firebird.....
2009 NHRA Rulebook:
General Regulations 3.3, Steering....
".....All fasteners must be of a positive nature; no roll or pressed pins, no ball lock pins, set screws, etc."

We require all joints to be equipped with through-bolts and nuts on all connections except the pinion shaft of the R&P (either that or welded 360). The pinion shaft connection is allowed a set screw with locking nut.
