Put a level on the intake manifold carb mounting and level left to right and front to back. Then measure the tail shaft angle it should be between 3 & 5 degrees downward at the tail. Match the rear pointing the rear nose up at 3-5 degrees. The drive shaft angle ends up where it ends up, a typical 1350 u-joint can handle up to 20 degrees of maximum angle so don't get hung up on the U-Joint angles.
