Widowmaker, I agree that the chassis doesn't have to be level. The numbers will jive regardless. The issue is a pinion that is higher than a tailshaft.
Thanks for the photos...

Yes, that was 'ride height' but the pics are deceiving as it was barely sloping up to the pinion (between .2-.5). The alum block was only done to see if the measure was similar to the one taken @ the machined surface of the starter mounting pad (for pics).
To recap, that was @ ride height w/the block/driveline set @ 2.5° & the pinion w/no shims @ 2.2-2.4°.
