Default Chevy Power book

I can't seem to find my Chevy Power book.


I want do a 4 Wheel alignment after doing a lot of front and rear work.

In this book they have specs for alignment. Can anyone scan that section for me. I plan to track the car in Sept / Oct and I am especially interested with toe-in recommended in the book.
Thank you!!

I don't know if these specs are of much help to you, but the below is what we used to start with on the GT1 car I worked on in the early 80's. These specs are also what we use as a base line for the Corvette vintage racers I crew on now. This is from Karl Ludvigsen's "Guide To Corvette Speed" first published in 1969, and are the settings used by the Owens-Corning Corvettes back then. Of course these specs are for bias ply tires, but then that's what we raced on in the early 80's and what we're are required to use in vintage racing today.
