Larry, would you please post a photo of that gage. Thanks.

It’s not top secret go fast stuff but since it’s Gary’s work I will refer you to him. Gary has guided me for 40 plus years working on the Cuda, the truck, the Private Lee, and Dumbo.

The gage looks like a football goal post that’s adjustable on one end without the part that goes in the ground. Don’t forget to put some feet on it so it will stand by itself.

The toe part is easy , it’s the toe change through suspension travel that takes a little time.

How did the alignment turn out?

We haven't messed with it yet. Waiting on a cage to be installed in the car first. We have the car taken down to a bare shell.

But! I have been reading the big book and laying under the car thinking if that counts?

You sir have found the speed secrets. Good luck and looking forward to seeing the finished car.

What is the 'Big Book' you keep refering to?

Author or link would help, Thanks

It was updated a few times...I think the last big big book was in '82. The more recent publications were the "Chassis" books...9th Edition is the newest. Doesn't seem to be any real changes though from the '82 big book and the 9th edition. Still extremely relevant info for doing an alignment despite the age.

I'm far from being a Mopar guy but the "Big Book" is well worth owning no matter what you race.

Doh! I had that book when I had my '60 Plymouth (even had a picture of it in there). Got rid of it when I sold it.
