Alignment specs

Hi everyone,

Bought some new radials for our '54 Hornet and I'd like to get an alignment but I don't have the specs for radials.  Any help is always appreciated.  (I could probably use a good alignment for my back too).  :-)  Thanks.

    As far as I know, which isn't much, there are no alignment specs for radials on a step-down.  Use the alignment specs that are stock for bias plies.  You might want to use slightly less caster with the radials to keep it having too much over-steer.  The stock caster angle is pretty marginal anyway, due to the superior design of the front end.  Basically, it's a set it stock and road test.  Adjust accordingly.  Your toe-in and camber angle should be the same as with bias tires.  It would be noteworthy to document your results and post them here on the forum.
