I ASSume by strange adjustables you mean shocks ... they don't matter to pinion angle.

Do you have adjustable upper control arms? lowers?

I prefer method #2 (crankshaft pinion angle) as shown here ...

I checked mine both ways, and in my opinion the driveshaft method would have led me astray. I use a simple digital protractor, set it on my crank pulley and zero it out. Go to the pinion flange and adjust to -3 degrees. At that point, the pinion angle is 3 down t othe crankshaft and the driveline anges have to be right.
