shouldnt you be able to just take the car to any suspension place?
i heard pedders will give you a written detail report of the car's problem

yeah we tried that but they said they needed the camber angles and some other stuff and in the work shop manual it dosnt tell u

The nominal OE specs are for average drivers on average roads. I assume that vintage Corvette owners are more picky and want good "handling" whether you define that as good steering response and feel or high lateral g capability. Within this context I recommend the following alignment targets or range for C2s with radial tires.

Front camber" 0 deg.
Front caster: 1.5-2.0 deg with manual steering: 2-2.5 deg. with P/S
Front toe: 1/16" toe-in (total)

Rear camber: minus 0.5 deg
Rear toe in: 1/32" per wheel

hey woodydat, tell yer dad to be careful driving that old Chevy, it's not a Datsun he should know.

See how 1200s are better? 1200s never have a problem with rear camber.
