Ok, I measured my fully extended shock length and came up with 16 1/2 inches. I went on the Alden website and the shock that fits that length is Part # 658. Also the spring rate from the Everett-Morrison book is 200#.

My rear axle has a 3 deg pinion angle as it was originally set up for a small block. The angle of the motor and trans is the same as the pinion. 34,000 miles and never had a problem with u-joint wear or vibration.
