tire or something rubbing

well ive run into this before myself (in dallas) until i moved back to my hometown and knew the guy at our alignment shop and had him put my 71 on his snapon comp, alignment mach.and i had found the factory specs for my camber and caster settings ride height ect.(which i tweaked a lil) most of the time the guys these days if you take your car into a shop they dont have these settings, so they do it and ill quote (i got it close as i could) i also took a buddys 67 fb and done it a year ago and it drives great too...if you can find someone that can even get these settings anywhere in the ballpark it should be fine.. here is some settings for your 65....must remind you that these are not factory settings these are settings for radial tires, so i also put the specified setting too...hope this helps in some way....how many guys have got your car back and the steering wheel be off? if so you may be at the wrong alingment shop.

Caster= 1.2 deg / 1.3 deg. (specified -1.0 deg. to 1.0 deg)
Camber= .2 deg / .3 deg. (specified -.3 deg to 1.3 deg)
Toe= .04 deg / .04 deg. (specified .13 deg to .38 deg)

Perhaps a stupid question but would those settings work on a '67? I put Scott Drake wheels and new tires on my coupe and had the treatment you described when I took the car to the local Kwik Kar place for an alignment. "We got it as close as we could but it's not quite right". Thanks. E.
