Angle finder $4 at harbor fright. compared mine to a digital at work and it was accurate.
I did a search on this site and found 4* is pretty much where to be...Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

The pinion angle will vary a bit .
Depending on whether the car has been lowered , etc..
Basically , you want the engine and rearend at the same angle.
With a 1.5 degree to 3.0 degree difference in the angle of the driveshaft .
So the u-joints have a "working angle".
