: need basic information on front end alignment(original straight axle )
The front weels should have a toe in of 1/16th" + or - 1/32". There are different way to measure this, and differing opinions on where to take the measurement. Here's mine and I'm sure you will get others. I use an adjustable curtain rod, drive the car straight ahead at least 8-10 feet then put the rod between the tires about 8" off the ground and in front of the axle just touching not tight. Then move the rod to a place 8" off the ground behind the axle (this is about as high as you can get as the car gets in the way):-). The tow in can be measured as the gap between the rod and the tire. E-mail me if you have questions. Joel Z
