I have a '69 Charger R/T. Right now I have F70x14 Redline reproduction tires on my car. The car has manual steering. I am aware that there are different specs. for a manual steer car vs. a power steering car. Do the alignment specs. change if I switch to radials? Do they change if I go to a bigger tire?

I just found your other thread and posted info you state here. The manual car I had years ago (68 GTO) had stock bias ply sized tires on it when I bought it and was aligned to ps specs. Very hard to turn the wheel parking. We changed the caster and eventually put 225-70-15 radials all around. It drove fine was much easier to park and tire life was good.

The stock alignment was designed for bias tires , with radials you want more castor & 1/2* of neg camber . I would toe the front tires in slightly more with wider front tires as the tires have a bit more drag , 1/16" is typical , closer to 1/8 with wider tires
