Re: Wheel Alignment
Follow up on my alignment. I did find the info needed in the Motor Parts Manual. All readings are positive which surprises me. I'm now attempting to do some adjusting. Thanks all

Re: Wheel Alignment
I realize this is an old post but I'm also trying to do an alignment on my 56 Fairlane. Those specs in the shop manual don't say whether they are positive or negative. I'm confused

Re: 57 with 312 rough when accelerating
