need help fast guys.
 
hey guys..i really need you at this one. tomarrow i need to get the alighnment done on my car but they dont have the specs. i used to have a book that had the specs but i dont have it anymore. it was the shop manual for 66 mustangs. anyway i need all the specs you can find for me by monday at 4pm. thats when im going to get it corrected. the camber is really messed up and i need the caster and toe setup as well. max min and optimum. thanks..

Caster 2 degrees postive

"Chuck Cantwell, Shelby American GT 350 project engineer recommended...
2 degrees positive caster,
1 degree negative camber and
1/8 " toe in for all years of Shelby Mustangs." -fomoco.com

The shelby GT350 settings sound like a good compromise. You'll handle better than the stock, but wont wear your tires out as fast as a full race setup. Race prepped Boss302's ran something like 2 1/2* pos caster, 2* to 3* neg camber, and the same 1/8 toe in. With that much neg camber you'll corner great but go through tires like nobodies business!
