If you aren't running bias ply tires you might be better off asking over int he handling forum for some updated specs.

Updated specs... Some positive caster improves stability along with steering feel and effort. If you have power steering, the added effort is usually welcome. With manual maybe, maybe not. Negative camber improves bite of the front tires.

Anyhow, for street duty with radials, about .5 degree negative camber along with as much positive caster as possible up to 5 degrees seems to work well. With stock parts, any positive camber over a degree or 2 is hard to get. There is a tradeoff between positive caster and negative camber.

One approach that works is to ask the alignment technician to adjust eccentrics for max positive caster then "pull it back" for -.5 degree camber. Then even it up side to side. If you wind up with at least some positive caster, good to go.
