WHat is correct angle for the pinion? Hey guys i have a Midwest Chassis 9 inch and i took out my torque are during my tranny removal, and when i put it back in i set the angle to 3 degrees, is this correct angle for our cars? I measured the crank at -1 degree and the rear end yolk at 4 degrees. Thanks
I dropped mine down to -1 from the crank angle and all my vibrations went away. Mine is a daily driver that gets abused and there is no vibration and lots of performance. Highly recommend!
You want the pinion to be 1-2* under what your crank angle is. Right now it sonds like your 5* above so your way off.

well let me put it like this the crank was like this / 1 degree and the rear end was like this \ 4 degrees just to make sure i have the negatives and positives correct
MW is dead on. If the engine is pointing down 1 degree toward the rear, then the rear pinion yoke needs to point down 1 degree. That will allow the joints to align under torque when the rear rotates upward ~2 degrees at wot. Engine will be down 1 and pinion will rotate up to +1 and the joints will be parallel...where you want them.

Someone posted this website and I think it explains it very well. Mine is at 1.5, but I'm going to pull the driveshaft like this site and confirm.
