I think I understand the relationship between the yoke, drive shaft, and pinion, but what I'm trying to find out is the factory slope of the engine & trans when the frame is completely level at 0-degrees. From what you're saying, it sounds like if I level out the frame, the engine & trans should be roughly at a 4-degree downward slope. That's all I need to know right now, as I don't have a drive shaft yet. I have adjustable rear upper control arms, so it will be easy to set my pinion angle. Just want to make sure my engine & trans are generally in the ballpark of where they should be before proceeding to the next steps.
