We had already figured that out but Blaine (who was helping me) and I wanted a third opinion.
Both sides are in correctly (I hope). Tomorrow we will set the caster and camber with his bubble type caster / camber gauge.
We quit and went out for dinner. After a large dinner out with our wives and Blaine's grandson I did not feel like doing any more today.
Manny and Ken thanks for the input.

By the time I got thee this morning Blaine and Diane had already checked out both sides. One camber adjustment on the passenger side is all that was needed. On re-assembly our guess on where the position the front bushing adjustment on the passenger side was off by 1 degree of camber. On the driver's side it was exactly on with no adjustment required. After adjusting the passenger side camber we had 4 degrees caster on both sides.
The rears are set all the way in. I did not drive it. We have 35 mph winds with gusts to 50 today so anything I felt driving down the road would have been questionable due to the wind.

Congratulations -- on picking such good helpers/hosts. And on the
alignment. Hope we're a lucky next weekend on the two we'll be doing.
