I raised the trans up today 1/2" . Now the trans angle is -3.15 and shaft is -1.80 so that comes out to 1.35 . Rear yoke is -.55 drive shaft is 1.80 = 1.25 .So thats close to parallel as thats what i think the video was saying to go for right?
The trans and rear yoke are all that's used in the measurement, not the driveshaft. Trans is -3.15, yoke is -0.55, pinion angle is -3.70. Shoot for a between +1-2 degrees (up) on the yoke and you should be good. If it's an A-body then adjust your upper control arms for the correct yoke angle.
