I replaced the original springs on my '66 big block because there was too much negative camber even with only one shim used in the upper a arms. I installed "exact reproduction" springs (Long Island springs made from original blueprint specs). At first the camber looked much better, however after about 25 miles driving the springs settled and again there is too much negative setting. Are there any other adjustments to reduce the negative camber other than removing the few remaining upper a arm shims?

Re: '66 front camber adjustment
How is the ride height? There are no other adjustments. You can adjust the frame. My guess is that it is either low,or there is a little sag in the front cross member. -
Re: '66 front camber adjustment
A little front negative camper is preferable for better steering response and handling - up to negative one degree will not cause significant tire wear problems.
If you can't achieve at least a little positive with no shims, it would suggest that the front end is tweaked.
