    Just finished replacing the front suspension on my 65 Lark. Does anyone have the alignment specs? Better yet, the best alignment set up for drag racing. The car rarely sees street action.....

    Desired Caster -1/2 Limits: -1 to 0
    Desired Camber +1/2 Limits: 0 to +1
    Toe (Total) 0.125-0.25 toe in

    Let me know if you need to know toe out and toe in on turns if tie rod end lengths are not right. As far as drag racing, it shouldn't matter much if any at all as long as it goes straight, especially with skinnies on the front.

    Thank's Tim,
    I ask because I figured I'd let the neighborhood repair shop do it and the guy immediately started whinning about working on an old car. I informed him that all of the ends and the center link was new. Then he asked me if I knew the specs.......... Guess he doesn't need the quick cash. I'll take it somewhere else. Figure I'll have the specs on hand, so I don't have to hear any crap..........
