Scott,
Easy to check ( if your a skinny guy!), but the car has to be on its own paws, full weight. I actually set the car on all fours, push on each corner a few times to set the springs then put a degree gauge on the drive shaft close to the pinion. ( You can buy small magnetic level gauges with a degree back ground with a floating needle from any tool truck, most equipped hardware stores)

Keep in mind that your air cleaner should be as close to '0' as possible. In other words the motor should be horiZontal to the frame. If not this can cause a multitude of problems from floodiing carbs (especially Holley) to almost undiagnosable vibrations through out the car!

If you haven't, start following the thread about Cpteddies build, I will be posting pictures soon of seting his rear suspension and driveshaft up along with where I reset his engine because it was off over a 1/2" from left to right. (Very rare problem and the first one I have ever seen. The CR's motor mount was measured,cut and welded wrong!)
