I just got home in time to go to bed. Like I said I cannot get to it until tomorrow evening. It bugged me all day. Some numbers I measured before disassembly just were not jiving with what I got last night. I just did a quick check, and I think I do not have the rear axle in the correct spot for the ride height. I'm hopeful I will have better numbers when I get it right. I had a sinus head ache and took some meds last night. I think I made a lot of mistakes.

Yes trying to get a measure on the transmission flange is an exercise in futility. I could not get the same reading twice to save my a$$. It is 1 deg +/- 0.2. Thanks for the tip on the damper. Although I think the belt pulleys may get in my way.

It has a 5.0 block (347) with Edelbrock Vic Junior intake converted to EFI (MASS Flow Brand). I did measure the top of the throttle body (carb look alike). It is a nice precision piece. It was around 1* also, but it's been a while, so I don't remember the exact number. I can check it again.
