By lifting the rear of the car your angles will change, diy wood stands are very poular for setting drive line and pinion angle if you dont have access to a drive on car lift. Just my 2 cents
So much inspiration comes from this build dude, i love the in depth videos make and you dont skip the little important steps most people dont show which helps out alot
Appreciate it man! Love hearing this. I know the 30 min video's kills views...It just does stats show my 30 min vids only about 15% is actually watched...But for that 1 or two folks who enjoy it all or its really helping others I keep at it. My goal is to mix it up, some 10 min vids some longer.
Thanks appreciate it Jamey. This was all done off of Team-z's recommendations, nothing else. Ive set it before on my Torino, but honestly never looked at the engine to driveshaft angle.
Excellent video. I used ramps under the rear wheels and heavy duty jack stands in the front and got the car as level as possible. You can use a valve cover also for angle reference point.
Awesome video as always car looks awesome been working on my 90 Non-Stop Total Restoration been looking for a for GT T-top since I've been watching your Channel I want one LOL
Funny thing is I want a 89-93 coupe to compliment my collection! Grass is always greener on the otherside I guess, but I wouldnt get rid of my 4-eye hatch for nothing.
I'm still confused lol I subbed, I'm about to order this setup for my 89 convertible. Hopefully it fits, I have a anti roll bar that is already in place. I'm going to call team Z before I order the kit. I just did their front k member and coil over kit. Nice videos.
Hey man! So aluminum heads are terrible for headers. I've gone with stage 3 header bolts.. kind of like c-clips.. you'll see. I've not had a single bolt work itself loose since! I know you run boost so we're different there but I hope this helps! I 've also heard folks singing the praises of copper RTV as a replacement for header gasket. I haven't tried it but when you hear something so many times there must be some truth.. hope this helps.. and.. I've had a hard time lately and just got back into my car.. found that side GT moulding I was going to sent you so check your mail! Sorry for the delay.. life ... well it's not always awesome. Keep up the goodness and God bless you and yours!
Man! funny thing is im using stage 3 clips as well. They rock. The leak was all my fault when I was truing the flanges on a belt sander I got a little carried away. Replied to ya on email BTW. Cheers man! thanks again,
I need help with this pinion angle adjustment. Would you mind helping me. I can’t get my tranny and driveshaft angles to match. Don’t have tunnel clearance. And if I raise my pinion up any further, driveshaft will hit the tunnel. My numbers are -3.2, -1.4, +.5. Am I good with these numbers? Another question is if the nose of pinion is down, is that negative or positive?
Appreciate it! I based it off of Daves video, I'm far from any expert so if you see anything off on my explanation / setup. Please let my viewers know!
Great video, started watching at the beginning of your turbo install, its been very informational in my build. Now that you have the stang about right when will you install the blow through kit on the Torino
Haha, thanks man! glad to hear they have helped. The Torino...I have dreams of a big block 460 stroker for it, 500+ ci. Although I cant want to boost it as well. Its next, the old girl needs a new heart for sure.
No, but suspension needs to be loaded at ride height. This is why the angle is relative to engine angle, versus the earth, like using a level, since the car is sitting at an angle.
You bet man! The F-150 is running Fox 2.0 front coilovers and a 1.5" rear lift block. The fox kit raised it almost 2.5" up front. Tires are BFG KO2 275/65/20. And Im running 1.5" wheel spacers on all 4, to help with the narrowish 275 tires. Next tires will be 295/60's to get a little more width on them.
HA. Man! This has a story. A viewer sent it to me. It was on his car when he was younger, and lets just say that car has some "history" neat he gave one to me and kept the other.
@@HOUSEOFDULA I’m from Canada , and went back to make sure I wasn’t seeing things , that’s awesome. There is a lot of foxheads up here, I have a 88gt and a 03 cobra . Enjoying the videos !
Shouldn’t the whole car be level? Front tires on the ground and rear on jack stands, even though the rear suspension is compressed it appears to me the angle on the pinion flange measurement won’t be correct. The axle flange is pointing downwards no?
No this works, because everything is in relation to the engine angle and driveshaft angle, not (earth or the garage floor). That why I zero it out or just do the math between the two. It confused me too, because with the rear of the car up in the air ALL angles are basically postive upslope. But this doesnt matter, as its the difference between the two. All angles are positive but the rear has 2.5 degrees more positive angle than the driveshaft giving it a -2.5 pinion angle. What "may" matter is the load on the rear jacks which might or might not be loaded a little more if it was on flat ground due to just gravity towards the front nose of the car when the rear is up...but this is negligible.
Tbh I think they look better with out tails. I cut all mine off. If you dump them after the axle they dont drone but if you dump before the axle they are a brain f*** imo.
My setup and the zero drive angle was based on teamz recommendation when I called. Hopefully they are correct. Makes sense though you want the driveshaft straight as possible when under heavy axle load.
I have 3 degrees on my bone stock never taken apart 92 vert. I set up my 85 the same. Any less and your shifter will be sticking up into the car too high and trans will be hitting the tunnel.

I was holding my breath at 9:07 when Conner was swinging the wrenches by the Stang and Torino. GJ Conner.
As a dad, I almost started yelling "don't hit the cars!"
Haha. I trust lil man...nothing that cant be buffed out ;) he knows better though, taught him that young.

Sounds GREAT. AND ONE OF THE BEST explanations of setting pinion angle I’ve seen. Great job.

Great job simplifying how to find the angles
Thank you sir.
you did a good job with this video. Thanks for the tip about the slope, using the spicer angle calculator.

He's getting better for sure, lol pretty soon he should be a big help out in that Garage. He was out there about half the time with me.
Great info in this video, thanks Mike!

Wish I had your oversized garage ✌🏿
Thanks man. This was a huge factor in our purchase ;) just a unique garage layout.
All you need is the tremec app. It figures everything out for you using your mobile phone as the measurement tool.
Measure from the front rims to the back rims
Nice work!

The speed and horsepower of the car All depends on the angle of the dangle.
That angle finder 👌🏽 I’ll be picking one up for when we put my set on. @gnag05
Nice video!

Thats awesome? How old is Connor? My son is 6 and can't get him interested enough!
Any update on this set up? Do the bushings hold up? Are you getting any bind? What mm parts would you have gone with had you not done this?
Great video, started watching at the beginning of your turbo install, its been very informational in my build. Now that you have the stang about right when will you install the blow through kit on the Torino

Just curious, when setting pinion angle the car doesn't have to be on the ground?
No, but suspension needs to be loaded at ride height. This is why the angle is relative to engine angle, versus the earth, like using a level, since the car is sitting at an angle.
Nice car, nice video! What is the color of your Mustang? Please let me know!
Thanks for the in depth install vid Mike. What level kit and tires are on your truck?
You bet man! The F-150 is running Fox 2.0 front coilovers and a 1.5" rear lift block. The fox kit raised it almost 2.5" up front. Tires are BFG KO2 275/65/20.

How the street beast control arms hold up ?
Oh man. ZERO issues. Its been awesome. I need to do a follow up vid.
@@HOUSEOFDULA hell ya that’s awesome. I had mine for a month so far and there great !

But yes axle flange is pointed downwards in relation to the driveshaft angle.
Just ignore the leak that is what I do
Tbh I think they look better with out tails. I cut all mine off. If you dump them after the axle they dont drone but if you dump before the axle they are a brain f*** imo.
Everything I’ve read has said engine has about 2 degrees lean to the back.
My setup and the zero drive angle was based on teamz recommendation when I called. Hopefully they are correct. Makes sense though you want the driveshaft straight as possible when under heavy axle load.
HOUSE OF DULA I would say they know for sure. 👍🏻
Hence the final 2.3 degrees at the rear end. Engine and driveshaft are straight, together.
Most Driveline angles are anywhere from 1* to 3* I've never heard of a zero Driveline angle as a standard.
I have 3 degrees on my bone stock never taken apart 92 vert. I set up my 85 the same. Any less and your shifter will be sticking up into the car too high and trans will be hitting the tunnel.
