Any issues with the alignment from the shop that did it? Just want to make sure my shop has all the info they need

I didnt have any issues. I still have a copy of the sheet with the specs they set it too if you want me to upload it.

Originally a 2BBL 273 car, but previous owner swapped in an '83 hydraulic lifter truck 225 with an aluminum Super Six intake. I've had the car for 11 years and it's my daily driver (my only car). Haven't done much to the engine itself - except changing the timing chain last year and general maintenance. Came with 7.25" sure grip rear end and sway bar (sway bar was missing, so I bought a used one, but it's missing the bushings/ brackets. LCAs have tabs). Modifications: ESPO stock height heavy duty leaf springs, PST 1.03" torsion bars, PST 16:1 steering box, QA1 adjustable strut rods, KYB shocks (front), Champion 3-row aluminum radiator, 15" Cragars. Runs really well! Started a/c install - yet to be finished, because the fan hits the compressor.

My 1974 Plymouth duster. This was my first car I ever bought when I was 14. Wrecked and sold it in 2005. And found it and rebought it back 1 month ago.

Jumping in here with my 64 Dart convertible. A big thanks for all these old conversations that have helped me over the 4+ years that I have had it. Loads more to do, but it’s pretty amazing the number of honks, waves, thumbs-ups, and comments I get with this old Dart.

Took this over the weekend after my first run of the season down to the beach house... made it just in time for sunset.
 
Yep another RoadToad, 62 Lancer 170 wife claims it. Did the body/paint 5 years ago or so, going back B3 she likes. Engine out, another hopefully decent one to go back in. Project in process!
The 62 Dart (B body) was slant, poly 318 to go back in. I love that ole more door!!!
The 79 Volare the white one is a 94000 mi. super six. Gave it a fresh change of clothes last summer.
Lots of cool slants on all these pages!!! Love the little boogers.

dvboth- How did those Clifford headers fit next to your power steering pump? Did you make any small Mods there? I just installed a set on my 74 Duster

No mods, I had a set of short tube(lots of clearance) and a set of long tube (about 2 inches longer), I used the long tube set, they are probably about a 1/4 inch away from the steering box!
 
Wow, mine were touching so I ended up putting a new mount on and did some metal filing
 
I thought the black paint would hold up too, but it is flaking off now.
