Hey guys I need some help quick. I'm in the middle of modding my trans cross member and I'm now stuck on driveline angles. For reference, I have the Inland Empire Driveline: Power Train Set Up pdf downloaded that Garys 68 gave me for reference. Here are my issues/questions:
I'm having a hard time getting a reading off the differential for a driveline angle. I believe I'm getting 1deg down as a reading. Does this sound about right? What's the best way to get a reading off the diff?
According to the above listed source, I need to know the angle of the driveshaft. I don't have a drive shaft that I can fit in place. How should I get this measurement? Is it really needed (seems important)? I thought of tying a string between the 2 yokes, but I feel that will be inaccurate.
Could I calculate the old driveshaft angle? If I assume the old transmission was at 3deg down, and the diff was at 1deg down, then I believe the drive shaft would have to be 2deg up (-3+2 = -1, 2+-1= 1, -1+1= 0; see the linked document). Can I use this number?
I know this is a lot, but any guidance would be great guys. Thanks a bunch.
