Front wheel alignment data for '87 T-bird 3.8L

Hi there!
Thought you may have a Ford Shop Manual or another data source where you can find the front wheel alignment data.
Could you please find and let me know a caster, camber and toe-inches for completly stock '87 T-bird 3.8L TBI with 14'' rims and 215/70R14 tires (if the rest of my info really matters).
Suspention shops don't have a data for T-birds in their computers here in Poland and I really need to align the front suspention and it's "cutting" right tire!
Thanks in advance for help!

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
