Alignment Specs

[petew]

Looking for front end alignment specs for my 51 Ford using radial tires.

I found some older threads where it was discussed but nobody ever posted actual specs.

From the 49-51 Shop Manual
Caster:
Max. 1/2 Degree, Min. -1 Degree
Camber:
Max. 1 Degree, Min. 0 Degree
King Pin Inclination Degrees:
Max. 5 3/4 Degrees, Min. 4 3/4 Degrees
Toe-in Front Wheels (Inches):
1/16 to 1/8

I just set my Toe-in on my Coupe. Been doing great with radials.

Thanks Toby for those specs.

What are people doing about the special wrenches needed to set the caster and camber ?
