Caster and toe

Anyone know what these should be set at?
I was told 4 degrees and then others have said 7 degrees. As far as toe 1/16 -1/8
Any help?
Thanks

Is it for that 1926 Essex? Sorry...couldnt resist!!
Gotta know the car though. Also, radials or bias tires.

1/16 to 1/8 inches toe in is good for any street or strip application although I kinda lean towards 1/16, caster would depend on your vehicle, independent suspension may get away with just 4 degrees positive caster while a straight axle may need up to 7 degrees....

Strut front on the "Z" is 10 degrees pos. caster. 0 camber. 1/16" toe-in. Built to go str8 for short periods of time. :LOL:

Sorry I guess I should have said what it was.
here is a picture and it is a straight axel

Nice looking project Ice. Got more pics.? That's not NASCAR on the t.v. is it?? **)

Beats me....damn you have good eyes.
here is a link to the build pics. Finishing the interior now and want to get the front end set for the Ocean City show a week from today

Pete and Jakes told me 1/16 toe and 5-7 caster.

Thanks.... never thought about calling them. Crazy busy trying to get everything done.
Thanks again

In. If you toe out, the car will wander . . .
