Ok ; got my axle straight and ready to put it back together. What is the best way to adjust toe in ,toe out?

Sending you an email.

You really want to get it right? Sure you do and the best garage way I’ve found is to get 4 pieces of tin or galvanized about 4” square. Make 2 sandwiches of grease between 2 pieces and put one under each front tire so they slide easy. Nothing beats the accuracy you’ll get if those tires can move.

Like the system … but white carpet in a garage housing a model T. Boy are you brave.

Clever, Anthonie!

I believe your method or minor variations are the most accurate way to go.
Wheel center height front & back, mark tires.

I mark the tires front & roll back 1/2 revolution.

I like to use magazines or catalogs for slip pads. Most model T Ford front ends are loose enough to use 1/4" of toe in.

I mark the tires front & roll back 1/2 revolution.

Pretty much how I do it and explained to him, but I use a clamped pair of yardsticks to guage the distance front and back, and have had excellent results. Much easier. Helps to have a lift also!
On my '13 I have zero toe in..really rolls nice. Other two cars are at the spec 1/4".

I do it the way Tim does it. I adjust the drag link to the point where it is zero or just out in front from zero. Then I lengthen one rotation and tighten the clamp. It might not be right on, but is as close as you can get it without bending the spindle arm.

I agree with Anthony's method. If front linkage is in good condition, I recommend 1/32 to 1/4 inch toe in. Keep in mind that one turn on the tie rod changes the toe in by about .22 inches.
