Try Lowe's tool department.
There has been a lot of discussions on this "pinion angle" stuff on these boards. I suggest you do some in-depth research. There are a lot of variables to consider such as: street or drag driving, air bags, shocks, ride height, tire diameter, etc. |

If its not a job you plan on doing over and over, just go rent one from the auto parts store.

Don't just set the angle at the rear end. You have to consider the angle at both ends of the driveshaft to do the job correctly. Here is one of the best explanations of the procedure I've seen.
http://www.rosslertrans.com/Pinion%20Angle.htm You can get an angle finder at Harbor freight pretty cheaply that works good.
