I just installed upper and lower tubular A-arms on my 1965 Buick Skylark. These are supposed to change the caster 4 degrees. So the questions is, when I take the car into the shop to get the front end aligned which specifications should they go by. I thought I saw somewhere where someone used the specifications from a 1998 Camaro. Any ideas appreciated.

what are the goals of the car?
Autocross:
1.5 to 2 degrees of negative camber
as much caster as possible around 5 degrees
0 toe to maybe 1/16" out.
Street:
1 degree negative camber
5 degrees caster
1/16" toe in

Thanks Bryce. The car will be for the street with maybe one or two trips to the drag races to see what she will do.

I assume you meant caster.
Anyway, Bryce's suggestion for Street would probably fit your needs.

Yes you are right. I meant caster and I will correct the post. I will also follow Bryce's suggestions.
