Default alignment and front end help

hi all,
my father has a contemporary 427 cobra replica with jag suspension. i have almost 10 years mechanical experience and was looking at the cars frontend and the sway bar links need to be replaced along with possible balljoints. does anyone have an idea where to find replacement frontend parts. it also looks to me like the alignment isn't close to where it should be. anyone have and idea on alignment specs and how to adjust camber and caster on these vehicles.

any help is greatly appreciated.

thank you

The parts are available from numerous sources.........like your local NAPA or similar.
The lower front ball joints take a little doing as they have to be shimmed to get them just right..the kit comes with shimms.
The upper ball joint sits between the control arm arms and is adjusted front to back ..withh shim......this is he caster adjustment.
The upper control arm fulcrum is attached to the frame and has shims between it and the frame....this is he camber adjustment.
Toe in.... I like 1.5 degree of toe in on all the whells ....front and back.
Camber ....1.5 degree on all four wheels.
Caster.... if remember right is at 3 degrees.

Solid rotors are Series 1 XKE Jag, Vented rotors are Series 2. Jag parts and specs should work.
