> Hi, Bryan!  I don't recall if you were at the last meeting at Ron's; however, we installed factory quick steering arms on my wife's '65 Monza coupe at that meeting.  I have worked with Ron and my son a few times to align the front end on the Corvair, and I am pretty happy with how it tracks down the road and handles!  About 2 years ago I installed a factory "wood" wheel on the car and it was off about 2" since then and installing the new arms has exacerbated the off center steering wheel.  The "spokes" of the wheel are not between 10-11 and 4-5.  You are welcome to make any adjustments you see fit.  Will you be at the meeting?  Thanks!  Greg
