[DeTomaso] Alignment specs on '72 pre-L?

[Mark McWhinney]

Setting the toe and camber is pretty easy.  Any decent shop should be able
to do it.  However, finding a shop that is smart enough to ask you about
your current set up and your intended use instead of just blindly dialing-in
the factory settings may be more difficult. (not that the factory setting
were necessarily all that good to begin with)  

You may need to adjust the camber settings if you have wider than stock
tires or if you will be running on a road course track some time soon. :->

Toe-in settings are a black art to me.  Maybe some others could chime in on
that.

Hi all,
As I'm working to get the car ready for the Pahrump trip, I wanted to
get the alignment done and steering wheel straightened. Of course, I
found out yesterday the fellow that has been doing it for years isn't
around anymore and I'm hustling to find another shop/individual that can
do it. I spoke to a couple shops who said they could do it but they need
the specs. I don't think it's that unusual to align a pantera but I
thought I'd ask the group before handing it over to someone. Any special
issues to deal with? Does someone have the specs I can give to the shop?
