Hello,
how can i adjust the camber position ?
my car have a very negative attitude !!
what are the correct settings data ?

Thanks

To do it correctly, you need an alignment rack. Don't have my service manual handy, but the settings are in there. Those settings are optimized for bias ply tires though. If running radials, you'll want more caster.

Make sure your upper and lower control arm bushings, as well as other front suspension wear items are in good condition before starting.

Before heading to the alignment shop, set your ride height and tire pressure. A lot of alignment techs don't take the time do do this first. From there a good start is to set the rear cam bolts all the way inboard, and the front cam bolts all the way out. This will maximize the caster. You will likely still have some positive camber at that point. From there, the tech should have an easier time getting it into spec though.

Thanks.... but before i went to an shop with an alignment rack...
i want adjust a little bit self... because the adjustment still now is
very bad... and the wheels are very slope ... which screw must i turn
to get an new position ? look at the picture!! is this the right one ??
Thanks

That's the ride height bolt. Screwing it in will increase the pre-load on the torsion bar and raise up the front end. This needs to be done with the wheels off the ground.

Cam bolts are what attach the upper control arm to the body.

Find yourself a factory service manual.

If you do pick up a service manual, buy it from this guy. Its NEW, only $59, FREE SHIPPING, covers body & chassis, basically its two books in one. The CD's are cheaper, but I'd rather have the book. Beats buying dirty torn up originals with a great chance pages are missing. The thing is like a phone book. A must have. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-CHR ... Literature

I bought the manual.... but i still waiting for that stuff...
long way to germany
thank you all

one question again

when i adjusting the height...(Screw on Picture) wich effect i get on the Camber ?
in this moment i have an negative Camber and the height is low...
when i bring the front higher... get i than a more positive camber ?

I think the preowner is litle bit stupid... to get the wrong rims inside the body... make a
crazy adjustment....

Thanks

Lowering the car past a certain height will increase camber.

Definitely looks like there has been some creative engineering on that front suspension. I see some sort of boss welded to the strut rod, and those sway bar mounts aren't stock. Lot's of orange paint!
