Dear @knollbrent: Yes, you need a good protractor like the one you name it.
The main reason for that is not onlt to have an accurate alignment but to stay away from Stevenson A alignment type that's what you have now. I totally agree with @lewm and @invictus005 in that regards.
After you did it and listening to it maybe could be a good move to use a different headshell than the stock one.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
