Drive train - angle of the dangle

[Sydney]

Hi PJ,

If your picture above is current, Just some food for thought, I think you might be early in the game in trying to set the angles. I have a Shell Valley that has a similar frame set up to the A&Cs. At the advise of this forum nearly 20 years ago, I didn't mess with the pinion angle until the car was complete and ready for paint. With the car on a lift, ride height set, concrete sacks in the seat and trunk, I adjusted the pinion to make both u joint angles the same without worrying about the driveshaft direction. When I was done, the pinion was pointed down a few degrees like the tail shaft, and the driveshaft ended up being level.
