John,
You need to find a shop that has someone who knows how to get into the
"Manual Mode" of the alignment computer. They can then enter the Camber and
Castor angle's and the toe in and then will be able to do the alignment. For
1968 and older cars these numbers are:
Camber angle = 3/4 degree
Castor angle = 3 degrees
Toe in = 0 to 1/8 inch
We have found that some of the racks on newer alignment machines are too wide
for our Bugeye.
Good Luck
