    Don,

    Here's a sketch to illustrate what Bob and Richard are talking about.

    On many street rods, where the engine is mounted low in the chassis, the transmission will be pointing slightly down, so the pinion will need to point slightly up - essentially the reverse of this illustration.

    Basically, the output shaft to driveshaft angle should be equal to, but opposite of the pinion angle. In my case, the transmission is bubble down about 2.5 degrees, so the pinion us bubble up by the same.
