Just learned. Mike, the owner of my local little shop sold his alignment setup. Says he never used the rack enough, and needed the room.
Mario, his mechanic (the only one) is a old school mechanic that gave you exactly what you wanted, knew his 60's stuff. He did both of my cars. Said it was a pleasure to work on em'. Owner Mike always had to go back to talk (negotiate) with Mario, to see if he would do it. Yea, the Mechanic was the boss and it made me laugh. But Mikes really a great guy.
It was a older rack system, but it read good according to Mario, here's some image of it,
I've actually done that Bruce. And it actually came pretty darn close. Hey, wait a minute now, no making fun of the carport...
Here's the thing, I actually would like to play with the alignments a little. Any thoughts on a setup I could buy other than the string, but not spend too much?
This was "String" on the 67
Caster is difficult. Toe, easy. I can actually eyeball camber.

Sorry... the Florida garage!!!! LOL
Been putting some miles on mine... I know it needs an alignment. I don't know if I can get it done this year. Going to lower it first, then align it. I'm going to have to find a alignment guy that's my age too to understand what I want... I also think I need to upgrade the sway bar to help..
I am ordering the magnetic caster/camber set up tool off eBay. $12.50 and free shipping to my place in Florida. I want to get my Catalina close so I dont need to trailer it to the alignment shop. You can borrow it when you want.
I will be using Kaufmans Automotive on Bleams road in Kitchener. Really good mechanic old stuff or new stuff. Did the alignment on a club members Jag. that the dealership wouldnt touch. Said it was too old.
