From your explanation --- your pinion angle is exactly OPPOSITE of where it should be --- if the trans is DOWN 3* --- then your pinion should be UP about 1 or 2*
IIRC you said your pinion angle was DOWN.... and that would be where you're having issues.
You need some working angle on the driveline --- So I'd start by putting the pinion angle UP 1*.... and see if that changes your problem.
Don't over tighten the U-joint U-bolts (straps). Just tighten until the split washer closes and go about another 1/4 turn.
