    65 mustang pinion angle

    I put a pair of reverse eyed leaf springs in the back of my coupe, but am not quite as low as I want to be over the rim/tire.  I have a set of 2" lowering blocks that are 3.2 degrees.  I am looking to see what the correct pinion angle is for the 8" rear end.       thanks

    Re: 65 mustang pinion angle

    Pointing up 5 degrees, but more importantly the should be a parallel line between the output tail of the trans and the rear end. Basically the trans and rear should be on the same angle.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.
