Front end alignment
I know nothing about front end alignment. I have read a few posts where the set up for drag racing is different than if your wanting to run your car on the track. From what I remember for drap you wanted everything pretty straight, but for track you want the tires slightly out at the bottom more than the top (is this positive camber?). The reason for my question is that at high speeds (the faster the more noticable it is) the more edgy my steering is. By edgy I mean a VERY SLIGHT wheel movement cause a lot of movement. Now once into the turn is isn't as edgy. I am not sure of the front end ratio, but could it also be in the alignment?

Do you know what your current specs are?

Many Cobras use '74 - '78 Mustang II based front suspensions. CR, SV, and your Lone Star. Take it to any good front end shop, and have it aligned as a '76, 77, or '78 Mustang II. For a little better recovery from turns, i.e. straighter tracking, use 4* caster for manual steering, and 6* for power. All other settings (toe in, camber) are factory.
