Front end settings
I've got a 27 Ford Roadster with a solid tube front end. I've got 8 degrees of caster and 1/8 inch of toe in and I get some front wheel wiggle especially when I first take the car out for a drive.  It seems to ease up about 5 miles into a ride.
Anyone got any ideas how to stop the wiggle?

Wiggle? I don't really know what you are trying to say. I would guess you have a tire related problem if it subsides after 5 miles I.E. the tires have warmed up. You did not say if you are running bias or radial tires? Panhard bar in front? Shocks, tube or friction? Transverse spring, coil overs? Let us know what you find out. Mike
