A ton of camber and all the caster I can get are my specs!

What are you using the car for? Regular street driving, drag racing, burning corners.....? Even though I was drag racing my 66 Belvedere, I was also wanting it to handle in the turns so there was enough camber dialed into it that it was noticeable to the eye....

For modern tires and a daily driver, use -0.5 Degrees Camber, +2.5 Degrees Caster, 1/16 to 1/8 Degrees Toe-in. For Hi Po street car use -1.5 Degrees Camber, +2.5 to +3.5 Degrees Caster, 1/16 to 1/8" Toe-in.

The FSM specs are for bias ply tires. Running radials I seen the specs moes suggested as an alternative to those in the FSM. For shops that want a modern car alignment as a target, you can try a 2005-2009 mustang.
Well ride height actually is measurement from bottom of torsion adjuster blade to ground & bottom of ball joint to ground subtracted from the first. Does the bump stop measurement come out the same? That'd sure be quicker.

You know it!! LOL I have a buddy of mine that continues to break bolts to this day and he's as old as I am....and I'm talking about grade 8 stuff! And NO, he isn't allowed to work on any of my junk

This is funny and reminds me of this.
I guy I worked with asked his boss how tight to make a bolt that was down inside a cavity (hard to get at). It was a big one (maybe inch and a half or so). His boss said to get it as tight as you can and then turn it one turn more.
This guy was husky and clever. He found what he needed to turn that bolt another 360%. It broke off.
It was very costly to fix and lesson learned for both of these guys.
LOL, with that being said, after awhile(age,experience(?) ) you can usually know how tight you are going.This is funny and reminds me of this.

I was always told to tighten, until it breaks...then back off a half a turn.
