For a solid axle car, there are no adjustments. That's not to rule out something odd like damage to a panhard rod- my brothers 89 745 had a bent bar from a stupid tow truck operator.
The type of alignment for this car is commonly called a "thrust line" alignment. The front tires are aligned and centered based on an imaginary line perpendicular to the rear axle centerline.
Note also that the ONLY available adjustment on a 700 series, is toe-in. Camber and caster are set by the strut mounts and not movable. If either is out of spec, something's bent or a component needs replacement.
Some adjustment may be available with new front strut rod bushings (cone bushings)- this may require a longer bolt. IPD sells such a kit, among others.
Good luck with it!
