The 408 was originally set up with:
Toe-in 1/8 inch
Camber angle 0 degrees
Castor angle 1 degree nominal

Ten years ago I wrote the following in another discussion thread - I'm pretty sure the information came from Brian Marelli who was head of the service dept.
The 411 was originally set up with zero camber and generally speaking it is not adjustable. At least not without disassembly of the front suspension and drilling new holes for the fulcrum brackets, which are bolted to the front crossmember and govern the camber. Castor is 1 degree and "toe in" one eight of an inch.
I believe there was very little difference between the 408 - 411 suspension.
