Got the Dart aligned a week ago and have a long drive under my belt with it.
Quote:
Toe in: 1/16"
Camber: negatve .75 degrees.
Caster: positive 2 degrees
(This was all I could get from the chassis.)

Unfortunately, I can't tell the effect of just the alignment change. I installed new rubber bushings, BBP disk conversion with the spindles reversed, and 205/60-15s in place of the 185/70-14s that were on the car. I also added a front anti-sway bar.

WOW! This thing drives great. Initial turn-in is much sharper. Power steering is still a little numb, but effort is up across the board. Self-centering is reduced.

Glad to hear it!!

Those are excellent alignment specs. I typically run almost exactly those values on my street cars (all manual strg), and the only thing I would change with your pwr strg is to go more + caster. No big deal either way.
