Please define "oversteer", in your application. Doesn't sound like any decent shop can make it worse. What is your use/goals for the car, since you are in the handling forum.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Its a legit question, no apology needed. Its just "oversteer" in this forum might mean something different from your issue, and "alignment" ideally is often based on intended use, and in this forum we often get into the weeds on alignment question, hence my question. You still can get a response here if needed.

Yeah, sounds like not enough positive caster; positive caster will tend to return to straight-ahead, or "centering", and increase the amount of effort required to deviate from straight ahead. I'm assuming no worn-out parts, and camber & toe-in are OK or close, nothing really weird at rearend or offset wheelbase. Basically, older Mopars are positive-caster-limited by their architecture; so you can't really go too far positive unless it affects the camber adjustment. 1/16-1/8" toe-in, 1/2-1.0 degrees neg camber, and as much pos caster (3-5 degrees being the usual design limit stock) works. (My drag car runs more pos caster than that, and centers with a vengeance - goes dead straight downtrack, which is its narrow purpose.) Mopar Collector's Guide is in Baton Rouge - they own some Mopars, and someone there may know an alignment shop in your area.

Misadjusted valve on the box? Is car power steering? Does it only do it one direction?
