3. on the front face of the lower engine pulley or harmonic balancer This will give you a reading that is 90 degrees to the crank or output shaft unless you have real problems with your balancer At the other end you can place the same level or angle finder against the front face of the pinion yoke that is also at 90 degrees to the centerline If you rotate the yoke up or down so both angles match you have perfect alignment Road testing will tell you if you have it right If you accelerate and you get or increase a vibration then the pinion yoke is too HIGH Rotate it downward in small increments of a degree or two until the problem goes away If you get or increase a vibration when decelerating then the pinion yoke is too LOW Rotate it upward to correct it 16 Axle center is best determined by dropping a plum on the outside of the quarter panel and measuring into the axle This must be done with the car level from side to side 17 Once everything has been double checked you can tack weld the tabs the axle After removing the upper bar from the tabs you can finish welding the tabs This will prevent you from frying the bushings 18 Reinstall the upper bar and snug all bar bolt with the axle still at ride height The 4 spacer can now be removed 19 A new 3 4 hole must be drilled for the sending unit wire You can reuse the original grommet 20 Apply thread sealant the air fitting and screw it into
