'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.

Re: '78 Chevette

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.
