1973 Dart 340 Sport Project

Since the car was on blocks and engine final installed, figured I'd double check the pinion angle. Good thing. The rear is 5 degrees up and the trans is 3 degrees down. What tees me off is that I had to relocate the spring perches 1/2 inch inboard, last year, to account for the spring relocation kit. To do that, I put the rear end on my work table, leveled the spring perches, cut them off, moved them, and rewelded them. I took my measurements and marked the housing to be sure I did not change the original angle of the perches. Don't know if they were originally 5 degrees up or what. But what it means is now I have to relocate them again. A real pain in the *** since everything, including the rear sway bar, is installed.
