i've fitted my 68 1800 with 7 in wide wheels, new tires, new front sway bar, new springs, and new shocks. i now need an alignment BAD. i've been calling around to the local tire shops and no one has the alignment specs and when i search online i can't seem to locate them either. Anyone happen to know what they are?

thanks,
Jacques

With different wheels, tires and a modified suspension, the original specs do not apply. I would try this:

Camber = 1 degree negative

Caster = as much positive as you can get without straining the upper A-arm mounting bolts

Toe-in = almost none, just a tiny bit

You'll have to experiment. If you get bump steer, add a little more toe-in.
