If all the pinion setting is required to be determined at the trans out put shaft,then eveytime you adjust your suspension,ladder bar or 4 link do you have to pull the driveshaft and if you can't get the correct pinion angle relationship by adjusting the rearend do you then move the trans I don't think so I agree that when building a chassis you place the driveline so that the u-joints are within the best working ranges.No disrespect to Mr. Morgen,I have read the Doorslammers book and attended one of his classes years ago and found that I disagree on some of his findings.I have never run a ladder bar at negative on backhalved cars with stock suspension,always level or positive.Different strokes for different folks.

I too have read Dave's book and find a lot of it that I don't agree with either. He(Dave) talked with a friend of mine recently, about doing a class at my friends shop and during the conversation, even Dave admitted he needed to update some of his info, as it was dated and things had changed quite a bit, since he had spent much time at the track. Dave Morgan is a smart man, no doubt, but does that mean we should all take what he says as the absolute gospel, of course not. His opinions are just that, opinions, same as the rest of us and not everyone will agree. So Quicktree, you can do it however you want, but just because I choose to do it differently, does not mean I am wrong, or that you are wrong, just different.

And as far as an "explanation", I have posted countless times, why I do it the way I do it, but you always seem to forget that part. Maybe if I had a pretty drawing I could call on everytime someone asked, I might be called the "expert"....

There is nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree.If what anyone is doing works than that's what they must rely on and share that knowledge.To not be open minded only limits what one can learn.To Tony(Quicktree)A mind is like a parachute,it only works when it's open.I agree with Monte that we may all be correct but achieve the same things buy different process.The method we proport is the simplest to do and understand.I have had many inquires of people that took Tony's drawings and tried to apply them to their set-up only to scratch their heads in confusion.Some tried to move the trans and created a lot of other issues,:clearence,binding and etc.Only to find that using the adjustments at the bars solved the great pinion debate of this century.Like Monte said some of us are different,I think some of us are"wierd"

wait a minute , I have no books or drawings what was posted if off of rosslers(who builds trannnies for some of the quickest and fastest cars on the planet) web site not mine. and I have said many times that I agree to dissagree. and i don't have a parachute either. you guys keep attacking me and I am not the expert writing these things I just believe they seem like a a better way than the 30 year old method that was taught by the early chrysler racers. I listen to everyone then decide for myself which way I think is better for me right or wrong. I would be willing to bet there are more people setting their angles like this than offf the drive shaft. there were 13 people in our class and not a one used the drive shaft method.

I hope I have never said you were wrong. I don't recall saying that anyway. it's obvious that your method works but still can't see any benefit to doing it that way. you asked for a link to tests do you have any links to your private test sessions? Monte you know I admire your work and have deep respect for your knowledge. I love to learn new things and follow your posts. there are plenty on this site who disagree with you on this subject but don't post in fear of getting attacked as you have seen over the years I have thick skin and say what I think

and youz need glazzes old man ( ). I didn't say everything inline line at 0º. ezample -2.5º trans/driveshaft and +2.5º drivehaft/pinion..... both ujoints will have angles to make them "work"
