GONDO79,
I suggest that after you read this, you read all of the other articles on his site about Mustang suspension and alignment, etc.

DazeCars, Suspension 101

I also wouldn't use the stock specs on a car with those wheels/tires.

Stock '65 V8 cars were:
Caster 1/4 N to 3/4 P (1/4 P preferred)
Camber 0 to 1 P (1/2 P preferred)
Toe 1/4-5/16

personally i like these specs;

caster +3 degrees

camber +0.5 degrees

toe in 1/8"

this will give you a stable daily driver, but understand that the steering effort will be a bit heavier than normal.
