John,
That would be correct, if as you say the top of the king pin were moved
towards the engine, but that is not what happens when the bushing is oriented
as shown in the left diagram. In the left diagram the king pin is moved away
from the engine. Remember, the location of the trunion pin remains fixed,
regardless of the bushing orientation.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Moss Motors adjustable camber bushing set
I believe their instructions are correct.
The camber adjuster moves the top of the kingpin however, the kingpin
rotation point is at the lower wishbone. When the top of the kingpin
is moved towards the engine it rotates the bottom of the tire outward
and/or the top of the tire towards the engine. This straightens the
tire inclination thus reducing the camber.
