67 Barracuda front brake drums, Alignments and tires

ChuckDock said

I did have it aligned two days ago, then took the it on the highway for the first time.
Thing is, these guys have old specs so I asked them to add more caster. The specs are what he did but I found specs on this site that you see hand written in the pic, that I'm going to see if they can do that.
What car do you have, and do you know the numbers it was aligned to? What size are your front tires, and do you have a stock setup? I have slightly thicker tie rod ends and sleeves and a brand new manual gear box and new upper and lower ball joints.

I see the issue. Looks like you have positive camber and negative caster. That's how the factory originally set them up for bias ply tires. With modern radials, you want negative camber and as much positive caster as you can get (within reason). I will attach what my alignment settings were, but there is also a thing floating around on here called a Skoche chart, that breaks it down by how you plan to drive the car.



Found a copy of the chart I was talking about. My car has 225/60R14 tires on the front, stock setup, other than a faster ratio 20:1 steering box.
