Alignment?
So the alignment is off in my 81 rx and i dont no anything about this situation, when going down the road id let go of the wheel and the car would drift to the left, could be a deadly situation, so what i do is hold the wheel to the right so it can go straight, there is no bent or broken suspension parts, help is appreciated thanks

You either have uneven tire wear, caster issues, or the toe is not within specs.
If you have some funny tire wear then you should get an alignment check like trochoid suggests.
If it isn't noticeable then swap the tires from left to right and see if it drifts the other way. If it does then you have radial pull. If it still drifts the same way then you need to have something adjusted.
Even new tires track funny sometimes.

Be sure to check the tire pressure too, it doesn't take much difference in the front tires to give you a pull to one side or the other. Toe in adjustments are easy (I just did one yesterday when I put in new outer tie rod ends, took about 10 minutes). You use a string wrapped around the car and centered on the tires to get it straight ahead, details are on a previous post that you can probably find with a search.
