Flange Alignment & RUNOUT

1982 Chevrolet Suburban K10, 6.2L Eng VIN CSECTION Flange Alignment & RUNOUT
  1. All flanges must be perpendicular in both vertical and horizontal planes to engine crankshaft. The only exception is "broken back" type driveline, which has flanges that are not perpendicular in vertical plane. See  Fig 1 . 
  2. With nonparallel or "broken back" type installation, working angles of universal joints of a given propeller shaft are equal. See  Fig 1 .  Angle "A" = Angle "B".
  3. This is calculated as follows: Angle of output shaft centerline is subtracted from angle of propeller shaft. Difference should equal angle of propeller shaft subtracted from pinion shaft angle.
