Old school Hunter alignment tool
I know where there is one of these for sale...
http://www.philosopherswrench.com/20...72-hunter.html
Anyone ever used them?
It is missing stuff but it has the 2 wheel attachment alignment contraptions. that have the bubble levels etc. seem pretty neat.
Gotta be better than peoples home made camber leveling tools....
Where could i get the instructions?

I would look online for the instructions….they should work like the later versions that connected the heads to the computer screen…basically the same setup without the picture to look at…I would make sure nothing important is missing before buying. Wonder if I could use that on my 68??? No rear to setup or adjust hmmm….lol

doesn't that rear have some built in toe, if it were 100% straight wouldn't it track weird?

have used old "dino" alignment equipment like that before. won't work on vehicles with adjustable rear wheels unless you have 4 heads and 4 turn tables. also, the floor has to be perfectly level for bubble gauges to be accurate.

QuickTricks
The QuickTricks alignment tool (about $300) uses an electronic level that zeros itself to compensate for un-level floors. Toe in is a little tedious, since you have to establish a reference point on the car and use strings to determine how the total toe in measured by the tool is shared by the right and left sides of the car. It took me about an hour to do all four wheels the first time. With practice, about 30-40 minutes to do it now.
