Try a hardware store for the angle finder/inclinometer

Will do, thanks guys. I think I may have located one of my problems. I just removed the plates and LCA's again and was checking the hardware. I used the stock LCA bolts on the BMR arms/plate installation. I saw that the BMR supplied LCA bolt had a bit wider of a center section than the stock bolt. They looked the same to me on saturday when I did the install but after closer examination tonight I put the BMR lower bolts on and installed the LCA's into the upper hole like Milo suggested.

Everything is back together now and I will definitely stop by harbor freight tomorrow for the angle gauge/adjust my pinion perfectly tomorrow.

I still think I may have a problem with that shifter linkage. tomorrow's project will be moving the shifter turns back out from 10 to 5. It will probably be a smoother shift at that setting anyway.

Time for some dinner.

Make sure you torque everything down following the instructions. Drive it for a couple days, then double check your torque again.
