Default pinion angle help pleaseee

Ok so I got my adjustable uppers on, and checked the pinion angle and I used this guide to do it....

http://www.vibratesoftware.com/html_...aft_Angles.htm

well my measurements were..
on the trans yoke=bubble faced the rear and the angle was 1.5, so that's a negative 1.5 angle correct?
on the rear yoke=bubble faced frontwords and the angle was 3.0 degrees so that's a positive angle correct?

if my calculations are correct I have an all together angle of 1.5 positive, and I want negative 2 correct? i drove it around and it's still wheel hoppy so i need some assisence.

Correct all the wheels were on ramps that were the same height. No Jack stands. -2 is what I'm aiming for right?

I can't remember what mine is set at. Been to long ago and I suffer from CRS. W/e it is, it must be right. Have you tried a search, I know I posted abot it back then. Been a while though.

You want the pinion to point downward in relation to the driveshaft.
