Question LT1 stock torque arm length = ??

I tossed the old one and no longer have a reference. I have been playing around with adjusting my Edelbrock torque arm so much that I need a reference on the length of a stocker so I can start all over again. Anyone know the length of one of these?

Why not slap an angle finder on it and adjust it to the desired pinion angle? Why do you need the stock length (which is "variable" because it slides in the bushing)?

Re: LT1 stock torque arm length = ??

I was told in the past not to mess with the length, and I have successfully not listened. I'm just trying to eliminate all the what if's right now. Should the TA slide in and out a little? I am trying to eliminate my LS1 driveshaft from hitting the parking brake cables in the tunnel. I'm guessing that because I messed with the length that maybe that is what's causing me the problem. I am renewing my bump stops as well. Under torque load right now I'm chewing up my DS. Maybe my TA is set too short?

55" exactly, at the longest point.

Or 51 1/2" from the front to the forward most rear bolt hole.

That make sense?
