If I wanted to reduce my camber by 1 Deg' from vertical. How much would I need to move the holes on the top control arms?

If there is significant unintended negative camber odds are the chassis is failing.

Or wasn't straight/true in the first place. A respected restorer I know puts a jig on the front of the chassis through his shop and only a few are straight - even the new ones. It does make me wonder about the lengths folks go to with adjusting this and that when the chassis isn't straight to start with.
