It's just confusing me because in my mind the difference between the angles is the working angle not the pinion angle. Just wanting to make sure I'm communicating properly.



I measured at the balancer just a minute ago and it's showing 2.5 to 3 degrees up from level which causes the tail shaft to point down. I think I'm going to invest in a digital angle gauge so I can stop expecting this manual gravity one to be accurate. It's hard to read as well.

If you stand on the driver's side of the car moving from front to back, my drive line looks like what Todd posted \ / \ .

Thanks everyone
that makes no sense. the engine cant be angled up and the trans pointing down at the same time.

I have this one
