I must say, I got caster wedges (from Tucker on the cottage industry
list) for my '67 and didn't find that great of a difference - at least
not enough to justify the cost of the Costello version. I'm running
185's on the car.
I've been real happy in the past with a 7/8" swaybar and HD valves in
the Armstrong shocks. My car is primarily a daily driver, though. You
might also try some longer lower a-arms.
One thing at a time. If you do all the mods at once you won't have a
clue what's working and what isn't and what parts are actually working
*against* each other.

Be careful when you deal with old hippies. They can be real touchy.
