I agree on the responses posted so far. I think 67Dart's article is useful for alignment specs, but I think you also really need a shop manual to learn how to properly assemble and dis-assemble your front suspension.
I'd add that if one tie rod is lengthened as much as possible while the other is shortened as much as possible (which is how I read what you said), then I'd think your steering box isn't centered. It has to be centered before you adjust the tie rods, and they should be more or less equal length on both sides.
Ride height is adjusted by turning the screws (will take a 3/4 inch socket) coming out on the inside middle of the bottom of the lower control arms. The pivot shaft should be loose in the K frame while you are doing this (i.e., the front nut not fully torqued down). The manual gives specs for the proper ride height. And if you didn't check the condition of the lower control arm bushings before installing them, you should have. If they are worn, your car will never handle very well. Just know that replacing the lower bushings is a booger of a job. If you don't have a shop press, you'll need to farm that job out.
Here's an A body lower control arm with a new bushing installed. Note the rubber around the base of the pivot shaft - fully intact as it should be, not rotten with pieces missing.
