What alignment settings are the 427s to be set at. I realize that the big tires will cause them to trammel some, but I feel that it is too twitchy.
Had mine aligned to Pfadt's street settings on Friday. Haven't driven it a lot since, but seemed good on the way home. These numbers are supposed to extend the life of the front tires by taking some of the toe out of the factory specs. The handwriting is the Tech's notes.
Edit: On second thought, maybe it is the caster that is different from the factory specs.

#2005 on my way home to Auburn WA. from Grand Rapids MI where I bought it.
From the note I assume you are driving home. Hope you have a safe and stone-chip free drive! i envy the opportunity to put the pedal down on some of the desolate regions you will drive through. I admit, i was up to 155 at an opportune moment. Hate to see a 427 leave Michigan. Keep us posted on the journey.

The trip went off without a hitch. I picked up the car from Garage Kept Motors (nice guys too!) went over to Berger Chevrolet & had the oil changed then hit the road for Madison WI. Had good weather all across country to Auburn. Averaged 24 mpg in the 2300 miles home. Used 1/2 quart of oil on the trip. And not ONE rock chip! Hard to believe I know.

Good to hear...I had Expel done on the front clip, mirrors and hips on the quarters for stone chip protection...works great! A little pricey with the stripes (if done right). I have not lost any oil, but have not done a one way long distance trip; the furthest for me was Carlisle PA for the vette show which is about 500 miles. I am doing St. Ignace in two weeks which is about 300 miles. Did you get a chance to open her up? I love mine..wouldn't mind a little cam upgrade though!
