I rebuilt the front end on my 64 chevelle conv. and the next step is new tires and align. I just read a article in hot rod that said the old set up numbers used for camber toe etc. is no good if you modified your car such as bigger radial tires and I added power steering, but the suspension stuff was direct replacement moog stuff (center ling, idler arm, tie rods etc.) where can I get the new numbers to get a good street driven alignment.

As much caster as possible (1-3 degrees with stock control arms, up to 5 degrees with offset shafts or aftermarket arms). Add a quarter to a half degree on the passenger side to compensate for road crown.

Camber at neg 1/4 degrees both sides.

Toe-in at 1/16" per side, for a total of 1/8" toe in.
