Quote: What happens when you use that method to set the pinion angle in a car with the rearend higher than the transmission?
With the pinion rotating upward from a DS thats going in a downward direction too the trans tailshaft i would say you'd be screwed, to me thats a + angle, unless the trans tailshaft rotated up & the rearend stayed stationary . The way i set mine, I put my trans tailshaft at 0, then i ajust the rearend nose down to where i want it, Now if i measure the -3 on the nose, & measure the downward angle on the driveshft (which still is a - angle, It could add up to -6-7, so i just ignore the driveshaft angle.
