Thumbs up

Yes, slam the caster plates as far back as they go towards the firewall.
Camber may be adjusted with a bubble gauge. You can get a simple 2 foot carpenter's level. Drill/tap two screws 17" apart (for a 17" wheel). These two points will rest on the wheel, and yet clear the tires. Now you adjust the ONE screw to a desired height (so on a vertical plane, it is like 87 degrees when you place it against the wall). Using trigonometry you can calculate the Tan=Sin/Cos of the angle and get the height to adjust the screw... Then simply make the bubble balance right in the middle, and you have "x" degrees of camber.
Seen it done, yet to do it myself. I take mine to an "old fashioned" garage (no computers) and have them do it for me, with me in the pit alongside them giving them the specs as WE align it together.
