    If you are using the Same rear leaf springs/mounting plates for the new rear as the original, then I'd suggest measuring the pinion angle relative to the spring mounts on the old rear, and installing the mounts on the new rear at the same angle...That's what I did when I installed a '70's 8.5" 10 bolt in my Nomad...
