'78 Chevette

Just got this car, never done alignment on one before. Need to know how to adjust caster/camber on it. Have a manual coming but might be a week as it was ordered online.
Any help appreciated people.

If it is at all adjsutable, it would be done by the upper strut mount bolt locations.

It is done by rotating the upper ball-joint 180 deg. Finally got the manual in the mail.
Thanks anyway.
At last someone looks here once in a while. Was beginning to wonder.

ohhhh, my bad, forgot it was still a SLA set up with a upper control arm. In that case there are shims too to move the control arm outward.

Not on the Chevette or Pontiac 1000. When I can get pics of the blowout diagram, I will upload. Upper control arm mounts through the frame.
