Default Re: Alignment specifications 1932 Ford

In 36 service bulletin there is a section on alignment, talks about a changing toe spec with a relationship to camber ---toe is set to 1/10 total camber( if each wheel has 1 degree camber the total toe should be set at 1/10 of 2 degrees

ford "B" align spec--in degrees
castermax-9, min 4-1/2, max variation-1/2
camber max2, min1/4 --max var 1/4
camber +side inclnation--max9, min8-1/4

toe is given as 3/32 with a note that it has to be in proportion to camber

toe on turns
15 degree turn--16-3/4
20 degree turn--23-1/2 ----tolerance 1/2 degree


If you are using non stock wheels that have a different offset you may have to adjust tolerances,

the article also mentions that if the caster is less than 2-1/2 degrees more toe is usually needed
