Pinion angle and driveshaft length.

Right now you have a 2* up angle which is BAD!

If the output shaft is 1* down, the pinion needs to be 1* UP to be a 0 angle.

"If you want a 5* down pinion angle, you'd roll the pinion down so it's at 4* below level.

I've had a SS spring car need 9* down... 5* is not a bad place to start. You likely wont find a 7* shim to correct the current angle issue. The locator pin won't engage the perches, too short."


Ok gonna pick a horse here. I noticed in all the pinion angle threads Rob is dead on. This quote is posted from another thread you posted on.

Example. Say with the SS leaf springs i want to be 5* down. Street car with limited strip action. If i were say 2* down on the trans tailshaft. I want to be 7* down on the rear pinion pinion correct?
