Pinion angle question

Yeah, you could have done that. lol Just set it up on blocks like I told you to do the other one and measure it. Then you'll have something to go by. But you'll still have to yank the other one back out to set it up like you measured the original one.
Yea that's what I will do. That will be a perfect time to measure the difference in length of the pinions and housing too so I can know how much to shorten my driveshaft
