Default Re: pinion angle

Go to Sears and buy an angle finder. It will stick to the flat spot on the rear housing and tell you what the angle is in degrees. All of the big time chassis builders do this all the time. Phil Mondella, Kenny Kier, etc.

You want at least 2-3 degrees with an automatic. The yoke wants to point towards the ground, this helps to plant the tires upon throttle.
