I've got slight negative camber and zero toe, the way the A arms and stub strut are set up on mopars of this era makes for a tendency to go toe out under power... I'm considering giving it slight toe in, because it does tend to grab and/or wander a little under power. However it seems dead on for rolling, I did some rough and ready testing, probable accuracy of within 10% and figured I have a total RR in neutral of 0.032 which works out I think at 0.008/wheel with Kumho/Marshal Ulysses ST touring 205/70R14 tires aired up to 40psi.

Edit: Oh BTW the "MOTOR" repair manuals give a max min and "desireable" for toe, camber, caster etc... I can find those specs for domestic cars up to '86 and light trucks up to '89 if anyone needs them. (I think alldata has the same info online if anyone has a subscription, likewise I think EBSCO Host which has car repair data, that many public libraries give access to, has the same info.)

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
