Default C2 Alignment Specs

I am waiting for delivery of new tires and decided to look into alignment specifications for the C2.

Apparently, long ago article written by JohnZ in Corvette Enthusiast Magazine Vol 9, Issue 7, July 2006, are good target specifications.

I have not be able to find the article online. Does anyone have the recommended specifications?

I also found this posted by JohnZ on 6-6-2006:
Don't use the factory toe-in specs - they're for bias-ply tires. With radials, you want zero-to-1/16" TOTAL toe-in at the front, and 1/16" TOTAL toe-in at the rear (1/32" per side, split equally across the thrust centerline).

Where is the datum line for the thrust center?
