With rough measuring, it looks like my engine will be down 2 degrees. I will point the pinion up 2 degrees to match. The u-joint working angles should be within a half degree of each other for smooth operation. Is there enough flex in the batwing bushings if you raise the torque arm to change the pinion angle?
