You’re over thinking it . The Moog number I gave are off set , wether you want it to compensate for a sunken frame for Camber or for getting more Castor it’s all good . Just order them
I have a set of cleaned up stock a-arm shafts if you would like them. Would eliminate the down time.
I bought a set of Moog Offset ones for mine, and I slotted them 1/4" on my buddies mill.
If I gain 2 degrees from each mod I may be able to get near 6 caster total. We'll see. Car is still dissasembled.
Another thing I could maybe do is buy a pair of Moog ones for you, have them slotted, and then ship. Interesting?
O.K. just to put this to bed, the part number K6184 for Moog shafts. I have run the fitmit on this part number on numerous sites. fits Vans, Blazers and a few other trucks. No moog number I can find fits C3 Corvette or any of the cross reference cars listed in post number 2.
Really??? does Moog make a shaft to fit our cars?
What am I missing here?

Hah! You are on to something. I just ran this thru all my local auto parts stores suppliers and got almost no hits.
Looks like they are dropping computer entries for our old cars. Surprise!
I did finally find:
Moog K6104
Napa NCP 2803604
Some mentioned K6184 as the number. I disagree. Sounds like a typo/mistake. I see nothing on that application list except pickup trucks., no corvettes.
I looked for my P.O. on the ones I bought. Could not find it. But they look like the 6104s.

Advance gave me that number , sheesh , sure am sorry about that false part number, it list 6184 for a Suburban according to my parts store , looking at my receipts it a K6104 (like mentioned) for 39.90 when I bought them in December 2019
A few questions to answer. why do I feel need for more caster. Simply put, with my wide tires and the rough roads here in Australia. my steering feels very light. I have a stack of shims on the rear bolts of my upper A arms and none on one side and one on the other. Still inadequate caster. Also no budget for aftermarket A arms. would like to get some caster to put some "feel" into steering. The budget method is to use offset A arm shafts. Big name brand super expensive parts cost 3 times as much for me over here so please spare me. So far part numbers supplied have given me replacement bushings. (No good) And parts that I can not find through google or Summit . A part number that can be found with a Google search or from a company that ships to Australia for a reasonable price would be greatly appreciated. And truthfully, I am still trying to understand how a downward offset can work. really need rearward offset to get more caster. Thanks Guys for any help. I really do have a limited budget. I can pull this apart and put it together. would just like to get rid of this super light feel.
I copied this pic from another forum member BUT forgot what the Red and Blue lines represent....it has to do with machining the upper control rods to increase caster.......any info is appreciated

Ahaaa.....thanks sunflower 1972.....I have access to a machine shop..good thing with a C3! (OOOOPS..I think I said it wrongly)
Red = Remove ADD metal-spacer (1/8").........Blue = Addmetal Remove metal equal to amount added on the other end of rod.
Also slot the holes (1/8") would give 1/4" total adjustment (I would prefer to Not slot the holes 1/4")

I have been looking for the Moog K6104 offset control arm shaft and it appears to be discontinued everywhere. Is the K6184 really the same part or interchangeable? It is available. I have a '70 Convertible.
I found mine on line as well. I just googled the moog part number. I think it was Pep Boys or something like that that had them. And they had free shipping in the States.
And by the way, I've had these in for awhile now. Well worth the effort. Car tracks very nice at high speed. Not that it didn't handle well before. but now that "Light Steering " feel is gone.
. Purchase the number I gave you, go down to the local parts and order them . YES they fit your car along with others .
