My engines dual plane intake manifold is set to dead level which gives my transmission tail shaft angle a perfect 3 degree downward slope towards the rear end assembly.

My question is: What angle do I want to set my rear pinion yoke?
Is it up 3 degrees or down 3 degrees? Sorry for the confusion but it’s that righty tighty, lefty loosy situation when I’m on my back and it’s upside down LOL.
Luckily I have adjustable upper control arms to make this a breeze, I’m just trying to get this right. Thank you in advance

I'm really not sure on that. If you have a smartphone, you can download the tremec toolbox app that has an angle finder. It worked great when I setup my angles.

I tried that and my speaker buttons, on/off buttons are throwing it off. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Lol

I placed my phone on the bolt heads of the engine and trans pans with the buttons between the bolts I think. I don't seem to remember how or where i placed it on the diff. It was kind of a PITA, but i got it accomplished and it seems to be setup nice. Good luck

I’m going to try and tackle it tomorrow 👍🏼

Get hold of "big gear head " on here .
They dont call em that for nothin lol

PM him . Hes cool

You want the pinion angle to basically parallel the trans output shaft angle. The only good way I know of to accurately measure pinion angle is on the pinion yoke U joint cap. I measure trans shaft/crankshaft angle on the bottom of the harmonic balancer.

i came up with this from the spicer app

 

[driveshaft-texas]

start with it level and adjust when the driveshaft is installed. U joint angles are going to be the priority
Baseline is equal and opposite angles but seldom works in the real world

Mmmm No. It's down three degrees.
