GM A Body Drive Line Angles

One thing to remember as you look at the Rossler chart is that having zero zero is better than +two-two. Don't have the formula in front of me but I think a 3 degree ujoint misalignment eats 1% horsepower so if you are down 3 on the trans and up 3 on the rear to make them parallel then it is 1 or 2% loss. Don't remember if the formula is for 1 joint or a pair. Work to get 0-0 knowing sometimes you just cant.
