Check brakes. Check corner weights & heights.

Seriously,

You need to get a real alignment. Sometimes the computerized alignment equipment is not calibrated properly.

Maybe make sure the correct tire sizes are on the correct wheels? See if a caliper is sticking? Get the wheels off the ground and see if any are sticking?

Was the car pulling before all the work?
If the alignment man didn't drive the car after he aligned it, then he didn't finish the job. If he did drive the car after the alignment, and the car pulled to the left then he didn't finish the job. Either way, if the car pulls after an alignment, then the alignment guy didin't finish the job. I'd request a refund and go elsewhere (but don't expect to actually get your money back ).

A real alignment is when you are sitting in the drivers seat while it is being done. Another problem you might have because of the age of the car are the bushings.
