DES Hammill's book on Sports car suspension is great, easy to understand.

For a simple ball park setup, a spirit level with 2x15mm nuts to contact the bottom wheel rim not the tyre and 3x15mm nut to contact the top rim then set spirit level to level bubble by using the top wishbone ball joint adjustment will set camber between 1 & 2 degrees.
2x long wood strapped to the front wheels, measure distance at the front between the 2 bits of wood, measure the back distance, set to similar distance front to back by the steering arms.
These are all ball park but will get you rolling until you can get to a place with professional gauges.
