Alignment Shop Recommendations, LA or OC, [CA]
I am looking for a VERY good alignment shop that will spend the two hours or so needed for our 1969 in Orange County or Southern LA County, California.
Thanks, in advance.

Don't have a clue as to a shop but you should give them the specs you want and not let them just set it up to factory specs. Over the years the specs have changed and if you just set to factory specs they will be tooo mild.
Try for as much postive caster as possible, a minus camber and cut the toe in half of what the specs call for. I would set 1/16 toe in.
If I went to the shop I would ask for postive 2.75 caster, minus .75 camber and 1/16 toe.
I would also as for the same side to side and if one side could not reach these specs back the other side off. It is really important to be the same side to side.
Once again factory specs suck. Give them the specs you want.
