Default Front end geometry

New to the site, seems cool. I'm trying to get the stance right on my 67. It's turning out to be an expensive nightmare. So I just put Viking adjustable coil over shocks and struts on with a tubular A-arm kit. Front end shop can't get the cast and camber because the wheels are too big or fat (225/40 ZR 18) so I'm looking at putting adjustable upper A arms and extended balljoint. Is this the best route? They seem like a bear to get right with 20 points of adjustment. But if the front end shop has the patience (and I have the money) it should be tight? It drives like a motor boat now. And I'll save some cash on tires. Any ideas?
Thanks

Oh man. I put the adjustable upper A-arm on and had the front end alignment done and I had it tighter but still is not handling the way I’d like. I kind of hold on tight and counter a lot and let it rip! I have a 454 low power, boat anchor. I’m still rubbing on something on all corners.

Which a arm kit did you get? Im just getting back into restoring my 69 camaro, i had a subframe issue and ended up picking up a 68 (i believe) frame locally. But im looking at going with tubular control arms and a disc brake kit for the front as well.
