Here are some specs shamelessly taken from the VB&P website. The numbers correspond to the titles above:
Rear 63 - 82 Corvette
Daily Driver
Advanced Street
Autocross Baseline
Track Baseline
Toe
1/8" in
1/8" in
1/8"-1/4" in
1/8"-1/4" in
Camber
0° neg
.50° neg
.75-1.5° neg
.75-1.5° neg
The bushings in your strut rods may be shot allowing too much negative camber, or the trailing arm bushing could be worn allowing the trailing atm to tilt inward. In either case get out the checkbook. Sometimes shops will bend the strut rods in an effort to get the rear into alignment. Easier for them to do that than get the camber adjusters to turn.
