Hi Scott:
It's always good to have the wheel alignment specs. However, in most older cars, these are no longer available (unless you can find a 1964 Thunderbird repair manual). However, there are wheel alignment tools available to measure Toe, Camber, and Caster. These tools are around $300 USD. Any mechanic that repairs old cars should have these tools in their shop. This will allow them to perform wheel alignments the old fashion way.

In the event, your mechanic don't have this equipment, you or he can purchase a wheel alignment guide for your car for about $25 USD at the website below.
