Suggestion, use the pinion snubber mounting surface to measure the pinion angle. Going off the end of the pinion itself may not provide a true vertical surface.
Trans 2 done, if you want overall pinion angle at 5 down, the pinion itself needs to be at -3
I measured off of crank face, pinion snubber location, output shaft end and also a linear cast molding line in the side of the tail shaft. All have almost exact measurements of 2* to 2.25* down. But thanks for the idea anyway.
Thanks for double checking my math, thats what I figured, -3* to -5* if I want to accomplish -5* to -7* static. With stiff SS springs I figured static -5* was a good aiming point.
Going to be pulling it first thing in the week, sure wish I had bought that plasma cutter, would make nice clean work of those perches.
Looks like they cancelled the races on Wednesday anyhow, track temp was still too cold to run on. I still have snow in my yard... Anyway, that gives me two weeks to get all this squared away before the next track day.
