I have been to three different places trying to get a wheel alignment on my '70 cuda, and no one seems to know how to get it into specs. I have spent 9 hours in three different shops, and each place eventually gives up and says sorry, we can't do it. Does anyone know of a reputable shop in the Tampa area that knows how to work on these cars?

Did they say specifically what the issue is?
What couldn't they do?

I honestly think that they are thoroughly confused with the suspension setups of these old MOPARS. They just said they can't get it into specs.

I just do them myself , turn the front upper control are eccentric all the way out & the rear all the way inward , using a digital level or your smart phone adjust the upper control arm until you have 1/2 * of neg camber & set the toe in 1/16 using a tape measure
Did you give them specs to use or trust them to find the specs?
I've heard of shops saying this because old cars aren't in their "toe-n-go" database. Which also highlights the fact that if they can't align it by twisting a single rod end, they may be claiming they can't get spec because it actually require analysis of what they are doing.
Try doing it yourself as Chryco suggested. Or, ask around at the next car show to see who others are using.

Find a shop with an old guy 60+ if you can. Buy him a twelve pack of fifth of his favorite brand and you'll be amazed what he can do for you!
