Interesting info on Pinion Angle http://www.rosslertrans.com/Tips/Pinon.htm
This is also what Mike Senia at Yank was telling me last time I talked with him. Shouldn't be using the net difference between the DS and pinion. Should be use difference between tranny angle and pinion for initial baseline, and then adjust from there. Not so much of an issue for folks with a stock setup (tranny/ds/rear end), but more of an issue for folks with aftermarket tranny/ds/rear end.

Re: Interesting info on Pinion Angle EXCELLENT INFO...this is how I thought you were supposed to do it but everyone said the difference between angles was the RIGHT way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I've been fighting this myself for ages...especially with the oddball geometry added with the addition of a 9"
Time to redo mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Re: Interesting info on Pinion Angle I would use the "ladder" type instructions. Definitely a long way from a 4-link. Only diff is we only have one ladder <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Interesting info on Pinion Angle Actually, I spoke to Carl Rossler about this very same thing when I ordered my TH400.
After breaking one TH350 case already, I paid attention to what he had to say, but actually haven't gone as far as to re-set mine up this way yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
