If it's a 1960 model with a late engine, it takes a bit of modifying things.  I have an angle grinder that fixes that... not unlike your alignment guy and his power tools.  

And Smitty was right about the stacking-washers-behind-the-mount-bracket. It can change the rear toe-out.  Agreed, not a lot, but still...   I just notched the mount.  It didn't take much.  

Same thing with the '62 ragtop with a '65 engine w/balancer, didn't take much.
