Regardless of what the original specs were you definitely want 4 degrees caster. 6 degrees won't hurt. The originals were 2 degree. You need more or it will wander all over the road when you get up to hwy speed. Buy the wedges from mid fifty.
You need at least 1/8" toe in also.
You can't adjust the caster without bending the axle. There are almost no shops that have the tools or the knowledge to do this. Live with what you have unless it is real bad.
