Where do I deposit my 2 cents?
According to the print-out that I got from the place That aligned my
front end, the specs are:
Each front wheel:
Minimum Nominal Maximum
2 degrees 3 degrees 4 degrees (camber)
3 degrees 4 degrees 5 degrees (caster)
.14 degree .21 degree .28 degree (toe-in)
Front END
Minimum Nominal Maximum
------ 0 degrees ------- (cross camber)
------ 0 degrees ------- (cross caster)
.28 degree .42 degree .55 degree (total toe)
BTW that listing was for the Spit 71-80 but I think ity also applies to
the early ones too. At least I hope so cause y'all know I gotta '63
with no doors.
