I have a 71 Hemi Cuda clone with Alter K and Tremic 600 5 speed trans and 8 3/4 (for now) rear that I am setting up. I have 4 * down in the tailshaft of the trans, 1* down towards the rear on the driveshaft and 0* pinion.
Are these acceptable angles? I thought the pinion should point down.
Also, what's your thoughts on pinion snubber, get an adjustable or keep stock? Car will be 99% street, but driven.

In your example even though it is not completely out of an acceptable range according to the article, I would set your pinion at 2* up so that under power it would be at 4* up cancelling out the 4* down you have at the output shaft.

It I am dead wrong someone will correct me.
