Hi Blade,
I use the settings recommended in the Chassis Service Manual.
These are the specs for resetting the alignment.
Front:
Caster man. +1* +- 1/2*.
Caster pwr. +2 1/4* +- 1/2*.
Camber +3/4* +- 1/2*.
Toe-in (total) 3/16" to 5/16".
Rear:
Camber -7/8* +- 1/2*.
Toe-in 1/16" +- 1/32".
Toe must be set AFTER caster and camber.
This is Chevrolet's recommendation many folks use other settings based on the kind of driving they do.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks @ Neil_B, that's just what I was looking for. I went right to the shop and updated the specs for the alignment. (in the future, i'll try to figure out how to do this myself...another project for another day.)
