383man, you're forgiven.

To all. I'm gonna follow Bob's advise and go with 2° nose up (positive) or as close to that as I can.

Thanks again, Bob.


Just to be clear, you want to make sure the pinion is at the SAME angle as the output shaft. It isn't necessarily nose up or down. That depends on whether the trans is higher in the car than the rear, which most are. The 2 degree angle is measured compared to the DRIVE SHAFT. If that's the case then the pinion will be nose DOWN in relation to the drive shaft. In any case as long as you keep both at the same angle and there's a 2 degree or so angle where the u-joints are, you should be good to go.

FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL IN THIS LINK. It explains it better than I can.
