Answer #4.....
General rules are; lighter cars get more caster, cars needing stability at higher speeds get more caster, if you like a little heavier steering feel with more feedback, give it more caster. Heavy, low-speed cars get less. The "crown" that most road surfaces have for water drainage can cause your tires to wear on the inside a little faster, some positive camber fixes that. If you're out road-racing or something and want ultimate cornering traction, give it some negative camber just for the occasion but you'll obviously wear the tires faster in normal driving.
Answer #5.....
Motors Manual says for 1977 Mustang:
Caster +1/8 to +1 5/8 Degrees with +7/8 Degree desired for right and left.
Camber -1/4 to +1 1/4 Degrees with +1/2 Degree desired for left and right.
Toe in 1/8"
Answer #6.....
I put 4 degrees positive caster, 1/2 degree negative camber, and 1/2 degree toe in.
I started with 2 degree positive caster, too quick steering for highway speeds. I have run this set up with manual and power steering.
Answer #7.....
I have used as much as 7 degrees positive caster with no ill effects.
Answer #8.....
Caster left +2, right +2 1/2
Camber left 1/4, right 1/4-1/2
Toe-in 1/8 - 3/16
