That's pretty close to ideal. However, its not WOT you should be concerned with, its getting your "total" in by 2000 RPM
Are you using the Sniper to control timing or the distributor ??
Quite often those rod throws have a big hole bored through to remove weight. This one was done by grinding. My guess is it didn't need as much taken off as the hole would have removed. And whoever did it knew enough not to cut into the sides of the journals. AND it rteally doesn't look like they...
I just went through this. Whoever is buiding the Dana - as long as they're a reputable source - will know what the correct angle is.
Also, don't forget about the pinion offset !!
According to the Mopar Chassis book, on a street car with standard leaf springs you want 5 to 7 degrees of "nose down" at the pinion. NOTE that this is NOT the pinion angle relative to the level ground but rather the difference between the driveshaft angle relative to the level ground minus the...
Crank pulley - insignificant.
You're missing some important angles.
See below
"According to Currie, the average car crafter should strive for between 1 and 3 degrees between the tailshaft of the transmission and driveshaft, and 1 to 3 degrees between the driveshaft and pinion. Furthermore, the...
