Now that was finished, time to check the driveline angles.

I made a big protractor from a AutoCAD drawn file (available to who wants a copy), printed it out and spray glued it to a piece of foamboard - carefully cutting out the right angle edges. A piece of 0.063 welding rod made a nice pointer.

With the rear suspension at ride height I got the following data:

Engine / shaft angle: 2°

Shaft / Diff angle: 5°

It looks like I will need to drop the tail of the trans 1.5° to split the difference.
Not an issue as the shifter mounting plate is almost touching the floor pan.



One thing that does bother me is the engine and diff are not parallel at all: 5° difference. I will need to see if this is an issue.
