The people I've spoken with say go back to the standard alignment per the factory or absolute neutral. I've run that for years, and, for a street driven car, it seems to work fine.

what do i tell the alignment shop?

Check out this Alignment post half way down the page. The factory settings suck.

1/8" toe
0 to -.5 camber
+1.5 to +2.5 caster

Nice specs for a street rod.
Personally, I run a little more camber

 

[19mustang65]

when u say a range like 1.5 to 2.5 camber...is one way better for street and the other something else?

Because 65-66 Mustangs use shims to adjust caster and camber, its more important that the two sides are close to each other, rather than closer to 1.5 or 2.5. Your alignment person should understand this.

What about your Caster 2bav8?

If you use the 1" shelby drop with 620 coils, then the 67-68 mustangs adjust by shims too

I'm running +2 caster on both sides IIRC.
