Anyone know this value? The FSM says .2 degrees, but that's no help to me.

I set the toe in the 2 Ford`s I had with D60`s in them numerous times witha good old 30ft Stanley tape.
1/8" to a 1/4" toe in, and everytime my alignment shop said it was good

Did mine with a homemade toe bar, set it @1/8. Couple of days later I was able to get it on the alignment rack @work and it was right on the money, FWIW.
