Have an appointment Monday to FINALLY get lined up and drive this thing. All new front end parts and I think I'm looking ok to drive 7 miles to the shop.

I really need a good set of specs for radial tires. My car is a 1971 Demon with manual steering. Mostly cruising and a bit of drag racing. Maybe only once a month or so.

Did a search and found a few sets of numbers, but really need some hard figures for my kind of driving.

====================================================
"Have them start with the front cam all the way out and the rear cam all the way in. Move the rear cam out until camber is in spec (1/2 deg. neg is good). This is the most positive caster that is available without new parts (offset bushings, tubular upper control arms, etc.). All of this is AFTER setting ride height. I usually set ride height with about an inch between the LCA bumper and the frame, then even the sides up. "
