Default Alignment question after Ridetech install?

So I have the complete Ridetech system including Tru Turn installed on the front of my 68 Camaro. It is time to set the alignment close so I can drive it to the alignment shop 2 miles away and get it aligned. My question is how do I go about even getting it close? I had this thing completly tore apart and put back together. Do I align my steering wheel so it looks centered then align each wheel with a level so they look straight enough to drive? Or do I turn the wheel so one wheel is straight then adjust the other wheel to be straight, then my steering wheel will be way out of line.

Thoughts on the correct way to do this initial alignment and get the steering wheel straight for a beginner!!!

Thanks, Erik

you can use a small level to set a simple camber. you can also use tape measures and some simple chalk or molded in markings on the center of the tire to set a 0" toe. This should get you to the shop.

regarding the wheel you can reclock it as long as the rest is in the right place. You can use the steering box arm as a referance as well.
