[Chevelle-list] Offset control arm shafts

I'm working on a '67 SS.  Initial alignment angles were -1/4 degree 
camber and -3 degrees caster on both sides.  There were no shims in 
the front arm bolt and about 1/4"~5/16" shim stack on the rear 
bolt.  All of the control arm bushings are worn out and will be 
replaced, along with the ball joints.  I'd like to get some positive 
caster in the car, and I was wondering if the offset shafts will give 
you caster gain as well as fixing camber?  I'm OK with 0~1/4 degree 
camber, but more caster will help stabilize the steering.  TIA,
BillL
