Default How to adjust tq arm?

I'm installing a umi adjustable torque arm and relocation bracket on my SS next week and was wondering how to measure/adjust my pinion angle. Also, any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

I'm getting it from my buddy and he had it installed and set up at a shop so it won't have instructions.

go to bmr's website, installs, then f-body. They have a video explanation on setting pinion angle. Do you have a megnetic angle finder?

the biggest PITA is the clamshell mount. id recommend getting at it from the top through the center console/shifter hole. i did make a small write up called: "bmr torque arm , new pix how to install " which has some things i found that i never read in other ppl's write ups. good luck and enjoy it, they are worth every penny!
