    Hi what are the best settings for a wheel alignment on a 1967 Riviera ? I have 245/45/20 on the front.Which are low profile and am wondering if there are better settings . I am replacing the bushes and ball joints to tighten up the front end and will need to do a alignment after. Do I get the alignment guy to take the numbers out of the manual. Or is there a better set up for modern low profile tyres? Love to here from an expert on this .Thanks

    I am far from an expert but I replaced my 70 GS Stage1 front end with tubular A-arms and I went for as much positive caster I could get, about 5 degrees, 1 degree negative camber and then set your toe in for best tire wear, which will probably be the factory spec. You might not get close to +5 deg caster if you are using factory arms. You'll have just go for as much as you safely can muster.
