Looks like you're right, didn't realize his book wasn't available, I believe he passed away a couple of years ago.

I did not realize he had died or that his book is out of print. I attended one of Morgan's classes at Wise speed shop back in the 80's I built my first 4-link soon after. Another book if it is available is the one by Jerry Bickel
I know he recently died. I think the Bickel book is a better one.

I own this book and have read it and I’ve loaned it to a few of my racing friends and most have returned it saying they didn’t comprehend a lot of the stuff in it.That says something for my friends because if you talked to me very long you’d think ld try to read it with the book upside down.

That book will put you to sleep or give you a headache! It's a tough read and not where you look for a quick fix. It takes a lot of time to absorb what he's trying to get across to you and figure out the math.

Thank`s
Good morning to all,
Now I'm not the Subject Matter Expert, but zero toe in/out and as close to zero camber. Bump Steer is another issue that needs to be addressed with these cars and at least 2 to 2 1/2 degrees of caster. If Billy Nees or Bobby Twynam are out there, may be you can elaborate on this question. Reading the " Door Slammer " Book will educate you on the needed specs and why you need them.

Respectfully,
