Being a street car I will run ackerman.
The only info I found was from the centre of the rear axle string a line forward to the front axle and this is the path the steering arm follows.
It is also effected by forward or rearward location of the rack.
(Carrol Smith book)
If someone has more info on this it would help.

Jim, KPI is one of the critical elements, dont ignore it because it is convenient. Let us know how you get on.
Is the kpi not there to selfcentre the steering wheel and also with caster will give you camber change on turn in.
A few have made the comment that rule of thumb kpi is similar to caster figures (I would think around the 4 deg).
But having said that the camber gain helps due to the minimal travel expected in these cars.
Is this the convenience you are talking about.
