And also when your dealing with the CV joint, don't the angles have to be perscise?
The pinion angle needs to be set correctly either way, CV or non CV. If you are going with chevy 63's it's pretty standard to need a CV shaft. I've put 63's on a handful of trucks. I have always used a CV and never needed to tip the pinion up more than 7*( maybe 9* one time?) to get the required pinion angle of 2* under the slope of the shaft. 14* would be a big shim and probably time to rotate the perches.
