Yup I think the crux of the issue is qualifying camber with positive or
negative.
Regardless we want slight negative camber / --- \ with bushings like ( o)

No Marion those are not boobies those are bushings.

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.
