My trans angle is 1* down and the rearend yoke is 4* nose up. How many degrees down do I need to go to get the correct pinion angle?
 
It is definitly 1*. I took a guesstimate at the actual trans angle because the driveshaft is still in the car.
 
Green's right. You can't guess. Gotta measure it. If you can get a protractor into the harmonic balancer you can measure it as it's in a straight line as the trans. yoke and will read the same.
 
I was going to do that before I actually go ahead and shim the axle. Just trying to get a feel for where I need to set it.
