    I was able to fix the monitor tube to the cabinet face like it supposed to be. Once I did that I turned it on and crossed my fingers.. It works. I have a decent range of years and I think I saw as far back as 68. I did find ours in it along with displays of how to adjust. The ride heights are in a book that was in the cabinet when I got it. The Hunter rep will be by when I am ready for calibration.. He came by this morning and peeked at what I have so he could be ready.

    My MII kit will be here any day. Once that is in I will take the drive train out of the 73 and put it into the 72 yada yada.. All I know is once I get to the alignment point I will do it my self and be able to check it when I feel like it. :yahoo:

    Now take it apart...load it up in your truck..drive a lot/catch a ferry or two and bring it to my shop...set-up and do my car while having a couple beers..then i'd even help you load it back up so you can take it back home :)

    Gene...want to try that thing out on a mustang II conversion kit? I need 3 degrees of positive camber...:D

    Maybe 4. Or 4.5. Would be interesting to play around with it.
