I just finished up the installation of a SSBC disc conversion kit on my 66.
What I cant figure out is why the car now has positive camber and more toe in??? I havent had it to an alignment shop yet to have it checked out but its definately waaayyy off.

Anybody else have their alignment out of whack after doing the conversion?:confused:

On mine there also had to be a slight adjustment to the tie rod sleeve length to allow toe to be set correctly. The Disc brake spindles moved the steering arm ends in.

Mine was WAAAAY off. I took it to the alignment shop only for them to align it to their specs on their machine and it was still off. I have since re-adjusted my alignment by eye and so far it is the best that it has been since I rebuilt the front end and did the disc brake swap. I will take it in to the alignment shop once I get it close only to do minor tweaking to get baseline measurements.

Good luck.
