Default 68 Coupe Alignment Specs

I just replaced the lower control arms, wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, struts and springs in my 1968 coupe. It is in need of a serious front-end alignment. I'll take it to my local mechanic who does alignments but I'd like to be armed with the stock specs in the event he starts scratching his head. Can anyone help me out?

These specs will make your car handle much better than the old factory specs, especially with radial tires. Without some negative camber and more positive caster, your car will dart around. These specs work even if you don't have the 1" Shelby/Arning drop.

The 2nd post here also has the specs.
