Camber Bolt Adjustment

It's from a '73 manual. It looks like they changed the measurement procedure in '75, maybe had something to do with the cars that had the rubber isolated K frame? Or maybe the bent T-bar F cars?

Regardless, the factory ride height IS really high. My ride height is set so my A-B is 0, and it's still not slammed on the ground.

As far as the ride height and alignment goes, I've done it both ways. If you're driving the car 90% of the time with a certain weight distribution, it makes sense to set ride height and the alignment with that weight configuration.

I can see why the A-B difference makes sense, it takes tire diameter out of the equation. making the A-B measurement 0, how much of an airgap is there between the lower bumpstop and the K frame? I currently have about 5/8" gap, and the front is sitting about an inch higher than my 33 year old 5 leaf SD rear springs. that's set about 1/2" lower than the FSM specifies for '76, and that's with taller than stock tires (225/70R14's that are on the cheap rims I bought to be able to get it on the ground). I am shocked that I have similar clearance turning with these tires as I had with the factory drums and 195/70's.
