I dropped off my 1969 AMX at the alignment shop this afternoon. This is a leaf spring car with a stock front end, what should I give the guy for specs. Thanks, Andy

It will be a matter of what your adjustment will allow, not what you ideally want in a drag car. All the forward caster you can get, but an OEM suspension will not give you as much as you could really use. I also like to see around 1.5 degree positive camber. If the guy has been doing alignments a long time he'll already know what you need and what the limitations of your suspension will be.

Cool, it’s not done yet, his machine didn’t like the wheels I had on the car. I swapped them for something different that will work and it should be done tomorrow. Moving in the right direction, head gaskets seem to be holding up okay. Thanks, Andy

I know a little late to the party.
The old AMC Performance book is what I went with on my 70 Javelin drag car. I don't know where it is after the move down here or I would look it up for you. Dave ----

Dave, long time no see. Got the alignment done, thanks though. Will you be at Gordys this weekend? Hope all has been well. Andy
