Here's what I ended up with on my '69 2000:

camber: left -1.21 degrees, right -1.12 degrees
caster: left 3.45 degrees, right 3.46 degrees
toe-in: left 1mm, right 1mm

This was Gordon Glasgow's recommendation for an aggressive, auto-x alignment. The shop had to put in longer bolts to get it to this. I'm running 195/60R14 Yokohama AVS Es100's on 5.5" 240Z wheels.

Turn in is nice and sharp, but the low speed steering is a bit heavy.

HTH.
