Alignment numbers

[70greendart]

I have a 70 Dart with 360 medium build, 14" small bolt pattern. Installed a Performance Suspension Stage II with the Hellwig sway bars. .890 torsion bars. Anyone know the numbers for the alignment?

A quote from this thread:

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.

Don't use factory original (bias ply) alignment specs. With modern radials, you want the tops of the tires IN, not out, and you want MORE caster:

from the AllPar site: There's one "confusion" in this chart. The "AutoX" camber should read

-2 to -3*

Yeah, camber basically a hair -; caster, all you can get; toe in- depends on how tight the suspension is, used? 1/8. Just check the tire scrub every month, and adjust.

I got almost exactly the typ. street performance line on the chart has, so good togo and the ride is very good. Still need to go to muffler shop and have them move passenger side exhaust so I can get rear sway bar on. Should be even better then.

Make sure it's all set in the correct order. Otherwise it won't be right.
1- RIDE HEIGHT
2- CASTER
3- CAMBER
4- TOE
