two ways I know of, different A-arms, or redrill. If you obtained 1.1+ that'll work well. 2 is better, just go with what you have and try it out, If you look on the 65/66 Shelby specs. they redrilled the upper A-arm holes to get a better alignment. Just do everything a little at a time and test drive it before making any other changes.
: In response to my alignment problem that I posted a while back, I put in new polygraphite strut bushings and realigned my 70 Mav trying to get 4 degrees positive caster. Fortunately, the school I teach at has a Hunter alignmnet machine so I spent four hours getting everything in spec. The most caster I could get was 2 on the right and 1.1 on the left. So I set both sides at 1.1. RICKYRACER, how do you get 4 degrees positive caster? Do I need to thin up the inside bushing and/or stop nut?
