alignment in So Maine

[kevinshea]

Having new tires mounted on my 35 (spin balance on Hunter machine). Figure while I am at it, I will check the alignment. Shop has the alignment machine, but it might not have an old guy who understands straight axle cars with kingpins. Can anyone suggest a spot in So Maine?

Been researching the best setting for my "heavy" wagon with new radials. here are the suggested specs.. Comments welcome.

Caster +5°
Camber +1° to +2°. may not be readily adjustable.
Total toe-in 1/16"–1/8"
Caster side-to-side Within ½°
Camber side-to-side Within ½°

Call Hunter Engineering in Maryland. They will suggest a good shop in your town or nearby that will handle you alignment.

I did this a year back and it has been great. Much better than my feeble attempts

By the way... my car is a 1935 too.

Model 48 Fordor.

Not only did they align it... but had fun doing so

So when they spin balanced them did they mount to the machine by the lugs or just center cones ( the wheels are centered by the lugs on the car and I have found the center hole to not really be the center for balance
This I learned by try to use the machine at work to check rim runout.
