the jack far enough back to reach the diff, but the lifting arm hits the
muffler.
Hi Scott,
Years ago I bought a long and not very tall hydraulic jack from Sears...it
has great reach and will easily clear the muffler to connect with the diff.
One trick we used in the shop for "low rider" TR6s was to gently lift the rear
end while a helper scoots the jack in past the muffler and quickly raises it
to start a lift. It's not usually necessary to lift the car when "jacking
down" in the rear because the rear wheels usually have enough inward tuck to
give you another inch or so clearance.
Good luck!
