I know nowt about Ford rear ends and little enough of MGB, but are they =
even adjustable?

Incidentally the propshaft should always be at an angle to both the =
gearbox output shaft and the diff input shaft under steady running =
conditions so as to force the UJ bearings to rotate back and fore as the =
propshaft rotates.  If they are always dead in line the UJ bearings will =
wear rapidly.

  ... I am guessing that the pinion angle may be off. Does anyone have a =
suggestion to what the proper angle should be?
