Anyone have any good sites or tips on doing a decent wheel aligment at home? I replaced front springs on a 70 and have wheel leaning out I guess thats postive camber? Should I remove some shims up top? I will take it to a shop for proper aligment, but if I can set up front wheels straight I'd like to.

This may help to get the caster close. Scribe a line on each tire, using a block of wood and a screwdricer or something pointed. Spin the tire and scribe your line. Lower the car and bounce it once or twice. Then measure the distance of the front line then measure the distance of the back line. If the front line is 50" and the back is 50 1/2 " You are towed in 1/2"
If the back measurement is shorter than the front your car is towed out. Try to get the front and back close to the same measurement. This will get you to a front end shop. Radials and Bias tires have different settings. This is only TEMP. FIX to get you to a front end shop. If you have to go very far to a front end shop and your front end is way out.

You can set camber with a carpenters level or a large square. O* is straight up and down. Caster is a little more tricky (without a caster/camber gauge). I`d suggest addign shims to get to 0* camber by adding shims to the rear stud in the cross shafts only. This will also increase + caster. You didn`t mention aftermarket parts or dropped ride height. If all the parts are stock you can use all the + caster you can get. Try and get the same amount of shims on each side (we`ll assume the frame is straight and true,a big assumption!). Once you get that done measure toe in with a tape measure. Yoy can do the scribe a line thing or just hook the tape into the closest tread groove to the centerline of the car and make sure you hook it against the same point in the trad pattern each time. Go for about 1/8" toe in. That should get it good enough to get it to a shop and get it done right. Most shops will only align to stock specs (which stink) but have them shoot for at least 0 camber and some + caster. If you can find a place that`ll do a performance alignment shoot for as close to +4* caster and -1/2* camber as they can get it. It`ll make a BIG difference in how well the car drives and handles.

That is so true its getting harder and harder to find shops that know how to do anything other than put it on the lift and do what the computer tells them. Luckily I still know of one reputable shop in my area but I can imagine many others are not so lucky.
