So, I guess it's back to basics and look at everything again. I rechecked the ride height and did notice the rear driver's side is 1/4" high. I doubt this small amount would 'tilt' the car sufficiently forward and right to make the camber/ caster off to drift it.
I did take 5#s out of the left side tires and it seemed to have an effect. I'm going to try another 5# to see if that does it.
Also, I was thinking of lifting the passenger front height a slight bit (1/8") to see if that's enough to arrest the drift.
In the spring, I'll go to new brake lines, set the height and go for the corner weight. If that doesn't do it, I'll just live with it. At least I know I won't drift into on coming traffic if I fall asleep (like someone could driving one of these!!)
