For driveshaft angle, set the base of the carburetor level with the ground, then whatever angle you have  at the tail shaft should match the angle on the yolk at the rear axle.
I have been driving a 1939 Ford pickup every day for 17 years thru four states usually pulling a trailer with an old car on it

There was also a 351 "M" series Ford engine, but that's yet another story.

I was thinking to myself there was a 3rd version, a Modified.  If you know it's story I'd appreciate a tid-bit.

Thanks for all the tips, this old Ford was also avail. with a Vacuum assist on the rear end in 52 if I remember correctly, cant remember the model though.

The 351 I am using is a complete running engine so there will be no intake or nuthin to swap over. It is a Windsor by the way.

Some of you guys might find this interesting, seems easy enough to understand. http://www.iedls.com/asp/admin/getFile.asp?RID=10&TID=28&FN=PDF

Good stuff! Many rodders have no idea what they are doing.
