Tail / Driveshaft Angle..???

Can anyone tell me the correct and proper angle at the driveshaft / tailshaft connection? A tranny guy has told me that I have too little on my 360/727......it is pretty slight.........How much difference would raising the back of the tranny a quarter to half inch make relative to possible vibrations?

Anybody have a pic of a proper set-up? (727-A)............. I'd like to have a definitive answer on what the factory did..........

I've been told that the angle itself can cause harmonic vibration if it's too little, and others have said it doesn't matter at all............

..............and can you check the torque converter for balance weights by peering through the dust cover?........Never had to check it before like this......Can you see them or not? :read2:


Here's an article that gives you both the tranny to shaft and shaft to pinion angles and yes you will be able to see the converter balance weights after removing the dust cover. If they are there they will be tack welded to the front face of the converter (the face that bolts to the flex plate). http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/axle/8.html
