as Dr. Diff said, for a street car, 2 degrees nose down relative to the tranny output shaft is good for a street car
OK so if the trans is 2 deg down from level you'd want the pinion 2 deg up (parallel) plus the 2 deg nose down added in that you mentioned for a total of zero (level) for the pinion? or were you saying pinion 2 deg further down than the trans say if the trans is 2 deg down then you'd want the pinion 4 deg down?
correct. if your tranny output is 2 degrees nose down, for a -2 pinion angle, the pinion would be level to the world to be -2 with respect to the tranny output.

I'm gonna put all this in to my words.
If the transmission slip yoke is down (negative), pinion goes up (positive). Transmission slip yoke up, pinion goes down. Either way make them parallel to each other, but opposite. Forget the driveline, only look at what the trans slip yoke and the rear end pinion are to each other.
In my case it's slip yoke down 2.5°, pinion should go up 2.5° minus 2° for a total of 0.5° nose up for the pinion.
All the different explanations I've read over the months never explained it like this. Unreal.
Thank you very much to all of you for the input. What would I do without Moparts?!
you got it!
