1966 alignment specifications

[Don O'Grady]

Can any one help me. I have just redone both trailing arms and want to realign
my 1966 small block. There is so much confusion about what spec to use. Does anyone have specification for alignment that they are happy with. The dealership tells me one thing and the manual say's another, the tire shops don't seem to know about anything that old. Thanks for your help

Does your owners manual have the specifications in it?

Re: 1966 alignment specifications

Alignment specifications are like timing. There's no magic formula and the factory specs as listed in the CSM are a compromise. If you want better handling you want to go with more negative camber. If you are running radial tires, you should set the total toe-in at about 1/16", and the trick is getting it equally divided between both wheels.
