Thats what I've found out so far. I can't find anything that says what
range is acceptable (especially for a fuel-injected engine, whereas a carb.
you just make the intake to the carb. level). I found a book today,
pratical engine swapping or something, it says to set it up just like I was
doing, using a protractor with a level in it. It also said to be sure and
setup the engine/rearend offset also, or make sure it is correct.
