I also when to a buddy's shop on put the car on his alignment machine and it was very close. Took him about 15 minutes to get it to what I wanted. Biggest issue is having a level surface to work off of. http://www.longacreracing.com/catalog/item.asp?id=129&catid=5 With this adapter to bolt directly to the spindle during mock up http://www.longacreracing.com/catalog/item.asp?id=138&catid=5

Make friends with the guy and you can see the adjustments in real time and it makes doing bump, camber, etc real easy! I change mine at least 5 times a year, no charge. 1968 Pro-Touring Dodge Charger *2011 Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge Invitee http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/1203phr_1968_dodge_charger/index.html
