Can someone give a good set of alignment specs for my race car. It will be drag race only. It is getting harder and harder around here to get anyone with the knowledge to do alignment on a 50 year old car, especially for a "non-standard" set up. I know Lou gave me some specs last time, when I built the car, but I can't find them. I replaced the K-frame and upgraded to the Moog strut rod bushings so I need to get it re-aligned. Stability at 100 MPH is what I need!

Perhaps someone could write up some good specs for our drag race cars and our road race / street cars and make it a topic in the FAQ section?


Thanks for the help.

Nice find/post, Ron. I agree with Ehrenberg's numbers for drag. If it were my car, I'd put 0.5 deg neg camber and +2 or 3 for caster, but that is a very minor change. Zero toe or perhaps 1/16" toe in.

Thanks guys that is a big help. Could that be dropped in the FAQ section for future reference.
