Hi - I recently purchased a 1927 Ford touring with a model A boxed frame, 8BA flathead motor, 1953 mercury 3 speed, and 1932 (?) rear end. The rear end has been converted to open drive. I have no drive shaft at this time. I'm about to take off the body and redo / improve some aspects of the suspension and drive train. What I am trying to find out is what angle is correct for a Ford flathead. I realize on a closed drive setup it is all fixed between the different engine components, but with the open drive should I set the engine so it is going down 2 or 3 degrees towards the rear end and then rotate rear end up towards engine / trans. Right now the engine is sitting flat. Thanks, Brian
