Camber on a TR3 is "Not Adjustable."  That means it is set by frame 
alignment.  There are ways around that such as bushings with offset center holes.

As far as what is the best Camber: the most important thing is to have the 
same on both sides.  But ISTR 1/2 deg is closer to the factory spec than 2 degs 
(going from memory here).  This suggests the LH shock tower has been knocked 
out of alignment.

The first question is "Do you have the cross tube mounted?"  The shock towers 
are a bit flimsy without it and installing it may change your camber 
readings.
