Default Pinion Angle number 223

I am sure you have heard this story before. Just installed an adjustable torque arm on a 01 F-body. 9" rear, lowered with Prolines (1 1/4"). I have the rear of the car sitting on blocks under the tires. It is sitting at an angle higher at the rear than the front. I don't have enough blocks to level the car. So, I put the angle finder on the flat sheet metal sub-frame close to the rear end housing. It measures 6 degrees down. I then put it on the base of the torque arm mount and it measures 3 degrees down. I assume that means the rear is pointing up when it should be down? Help!

Think I got it. Had a candy bar and a coke, and it all became clear. Set the pinion angle - 1.5 degrees to the chassis level point.
