Alignment specs
Either the search function is not working or I have completely forgotten how to use it. Can't find any results. Can someone tell me what specs to use for alignment. Caster, camber and toe. 1966 Big block, no ac, power steering and running radial tires. Thanks in advance.

I get confused by that diagram. The diagram makes it look like the rear toe is toe-out (distance between front of tires is greater than distance between rear). I'm almost positive the spec is tow-in for the rear tires.

It's only confusing if your look at the diagram backwards...which I did when I first got this diagram. Look at the diagram in the lower left and lower right. Picture in your mind that the lower part of the diagram is the "front" of the car (where they show the arrows for the toe in)...then it makes sense. Good for you to point that out, though.

An old time alignment pro told me to always put weight in the driver's seat and passenger's seat before alignment as it will affect camber. He was right, but you won't find a shop to do it in this century. I set the camber on the rear at 0 due to the change when the passengers get in the car and it seems to work.
