Does anyone Know of a setting for my front end alignment?It is an 83-T and It is only used for 1/4 mile racing.I am changing over to G-Body tube A arms and want to set up the front end the best way.Thanks,Don
 
The most positive caster setting you can get while maintaining zero to 1/4 degree positive camber with 1/16" toe-in setting. Make one side match the other on caster/camber settings. Put the same amount of gas in the tank that you race with and use sandbags or something on the driver's seat to match your weight while taking measurements and making adjustments. Loosen the front wheel bearing adjustment slightly and grease the steering linkage and ball joints well.
That's where I would start. I'm sure other more experienced guys have their own thoughts on the matter.
 
Thanks....I was thinking of something like, camber @ 0/ caster @ 3 and a straight toe.When the car is moving down the track the front end is lifted hence a straighter wheel alignment near full suspension hight.
