Glad it worked out....how'd the steering stops work out?

You'll find, without power steering, that low speed cornering will be a bit harder, like when driving around the water box. The upside is you'll be able to hold a straight line with one finger.
No idea about caster's relation to hooking up...never made any difference on my car.

Good luck at the track!

At least on the 65 which is what I have, the steering stop brackets are flared out a little bit on the bottom which makes them not level. This isn't a problem with the stock bolt holes but it is with the relocated bolt holes. They won't sit level then. All I had to do was grind the bottoms of the steering stop brackets flat. With the front end up in the air I tested my steering stops and they hit at about the same places and seem to work just fine.

This theory of the hooking up better has to do with lengthening the track of the car slightly. It supposedly moves the center of gravity back just a little. I don't think it is significant enough to be noticed.

Thanks for the info Johnny and, btw, I thought your solution was a great one!
