Stock '68 GTS 340" pinion angle question

There is an angle built in to the perches on the housing.

I get the following.

With the center section of the housing plumb, the perches are 5 deg


I took photos with the housing upside down

So with the housing perches level the center section mounting surface would be leaning back at the top 5 deg.

And yes those are factory welds and this is an untouched OEM housing

Pick your poison...
