Default Front end alignment

I live in the Parrish/Bradenton FL area and I'm in search of a place that can be trusted to align my 73 C3 front end after installing a rack and pinion system as it requires settings different from factory original

I'm no where near Florida, in fact 10 or 12 thousand miles away.
However, and "Good" alignment shop shouldn't have any issues aligning to the specs you give them.
And by all means ask for a print out when they are done.

Just a comment: I always wondered as a kid in the '60s why Corvettes were always lined up at Jim's Wheel Alignment Shop.
Then Jim passed away and his son took charge...Vettes are still lining up 60 years later.

Check with some Corvette "Clubs" in your area to see where they go for alignments (rookie suggestion...you may need a 4-wheel alignment)
