I remember trying to get it reasonably close, but with play in the rear and only so many splines up front…it seemed impractical to get it dead nuts.
In order for a driveshaft to be in phase, the cups on both ends of the driveshaft itself should be lined up. If there isn't a keyed position on the driveshaft splines, then keep trying. If you've tried every position, then either the yoke or the spline end has been welded on incorrectly.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
