I have a 57 Chevy 3100 and I am putting a 1979 Camaro rear end in it. Does anyone know what pinion angle I should set the Camaro at before welding tha spring perches on? I am new to this site and need your help, I was going to add a picture but I do npt see that option here, if you would like to see what the angle looks like at +3 degrees send me your email address and I can send you one. Thanks for any help you can give me in advance!

For a street driven vehicle. Set the angle at (negative) -3 degrees. When you accelerate the pinion will raise upward. Making the angle go positive.
