I kicked everything MSD other than my crank sensor bracket off of my car when I went EFI because I had experienced reliability problems. That being said I like the clean and simple setup those relay setups offer, and they are solid state on top of that.

andy, those longacre tools are pretty accurate. i have a similar tool [i can't remember the name, but it was one of the first ones of that design put out], and have used it a lot. i bought that, plus a couple of others, and i have had great luck aligning my stuff, and no goofy tire wear. there are no good places around here to get an alignment, thus my delve into these tools.

Toe is easy to do with a tape measure and camber can be guessed at pretty well with a straight edge and bubble level but caster is the tough one. At least on a IFS. Caster wouldn't be too hard with a straight axle I suppose.
I think a person could design a fixture that measured caster directly off the knuckle but it would take some clever thinking. With a spool the car is already hard to turn, so dialing in as much caster as you can just makes it ride better down the track.

I ended up buying a repo air grabber setup for the car. I decided I liked the way it looked so I plunked down the money. You ought to talk with Hemi denny about some of his LCAs. A lot lighter.

That air cleaner top would look great painted to match the valve covers. Just would have to get a filter with a black seal. If I change the color on the air cleaner I'll probably go black, Maybe make the valve covers black too. I'm going to leave it orange for now since people expect an Air Grabber top to be orange but if I get tired of orange I'll probably powder coat it black. I don't think I'd go with the turquoise color.
