Also do some checking on your location points and you can use some of online calculators to figure instant center and antisquat if you haven't already.
I rounded it off to 7 actually. I came up with 6.66 The way i did it was: trans yoke was 3.30 going down towards the rear and drive shaft yoke was .70 going down towards the rear. I subtracted .70 from 3.30 = 3.23 . did the same at the rear yoke and shaft yoke. Shaft was .70 . Rear end yoke was 3.43 going down towards the trans. added 3.23 to 3.43 = 6.66 degrees? lol

I read this and tried it. I have no idea if its right..
