Wheel Alignment

Can anyone help me out with wheel alignment specs? Not sure of how a Cobra replica should have its wheels set. My EM kit has a 408 stroker engine and Heidt A-arms with Alden coil-overs.
Thanks for any advise from any of you who know about this.

I set my own negitive camber -1.1 and ask the alignment guy to set the toe at 0.04in and caster at 2.0.
The jag rear has camber -1.4 and toe at -0.12.
Feels like it's riding on rails.........
My front is all rod ends, no rubber.

Steve,
Thanks for asking the question. I am looking for the same information as well. My EM has the 8.8 rear and custom tubular front with Aldin coilovers all the way around.
If I learin anything I will let you know.

Thanks Guys,
I'll give those settings a try. Good luck with your car! Hoping to have mine done yet this spring.

I running a 9" rear and tubular front w/alden coilovers on all four. Alignment is set at +1.5° caster, +0.5° camber, and 1/8" toe-in. Drives straight and seems to handle just fine.
