Is that a top view or front view? On my 66, the toe in is set 1/8" angled in at the front. front
/ \
rear
Not sure about camber / caster, only checked it by eyeball.

You should have 1/16"-1/8" toe in(front of tires pointing towards each other). Other angles are not normally adjustable and shouldn't be worried about unless something went horribly wrong. Once the toe is set the steering wheel may not be straight when driving. There is an adjusting sleeve on the drag link that will need some twisting. If you need I can give you some tips for that adjustment.Rich.
