Classic/Antique Car Repair: front end alignment specs for a 1950 mercury, front end alignment specs, bias ply tires


Question
I need the front alignment specs for a 1950 mercury. I sure would appreciate any help.  Thanks.

Answer
Caster: Zero
Camber: +3/8 degrees
Toe in: 1/8 inch
Kingpin inclination: 5 degrees

Note: These specs are for the original bias ply tires.  If you are going to be installing radial tires, use a toe-in of zero (or follow the recommendation of your alignment mechanic).
