This angle okay? Looks similar to what Online170 had regarding angle in the T56 install sticky and a couple posted it as okay but want to be sure. Side view seems to be dead on, looking at it from front, it's definitely off some...

Re: Too much angle for t56 clutch master cyl? Pics inside...

I would get it hooked up and see how it goes in when you push the clutch in... Mine was a bit off as well, but I haven't had any issues yet. I wish I had taken some pictures. Unfortunately I am pretty far from home. I wouldn't worry about it not being perfect, as long as it isn't too bad you should be fine. Worst case scenario it starts leaking and you have to buy a new one and adjust it a bit better... I think they are like $80 bucks.

That is honestly the reason I threw the used one in my car incase the angle was off... A lot of people suggest just going with a new one to start off.

looks fine. The ball end of the rod will press the piston and not bind or drive the piston into the inner sleeve.

Sounds good, we'll see how it goes then. I do have a used spare in case but will keep my fingers crossed as this is a brand new setup!

Re: Too much angle for t56 clutch master cyl? Pics inside...

There is a great deal of tolerance at that spot, with a ball-and-socket type of mating surface to accommodate it. In fact the vertical angle changes over a considerable range as the cyl is operated, and it's designed to handle that.

Looks OK to me; well within the above-mentioned range.

Why not use the spare one first and if all is well, return the new one?

It's a complete pre-bled gm unit and is already installed now. The backup is just the mc that came with my pedals.
