Mike,
One of the easiest ways (for me) to line a tail stock up is to have a test bar with center holes.Put a live or dead center in your tail stock,put a dead center in your headstock end, then put your test bar between centers.
Set your di on your cross slide and run your carriage back and forth and see if there is any difference from end to end adjust accordingly.
If you have a test bar this is the easiest way but I warn you a known good test bar is very expensive at least i think so.If you don't have one the the way ray was telling you is another popular way of checking tail stock aliment.
