Pinion angle, stock and recommended with SS springs.

Yep I known this has been asked many times, but can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Firstly if I was to weld the perches on in the factory location, angle, what angle would the pinion be relative to perches? My 8 3/4 is out of a truck, and the angle on that is irrelevant but its a very steep pinion up angle relative to the spring perches. I could weld them same as the 7 1/4 in my car now but plan on swapping in RH SS springs sometime. I will consider using wedges for any fine adjustment later, but would prefer to do out of the car as it would be a PIA to get a welder to tack in position in my immobile Duster. While we are at it the perches have a round and a square hole at each end, any significance to these?
My 67 Barracuda 340, 727 with an 8 3/4 has, street application, 2* positive at the trans output shaft and 2.5* negative at the rear end drive shaft yoke - no issues. After I installed new ESPO springs I had to add a shim at the spring perch to correct the angle.
