early A strut rods question

You could bend that one back. It is straight were it matters. Adjustable strut rods are most useful in letting you increase camber, which is needed for radial tires. In general, you want to pull the lower ball joint forward. Use the "Moog improved" strut rod bushings. Don't fool with the original 1-piece that are almost impossible to squeeze thru the hole and then get cut by the sheet metal in use.
Caster adjustment not camber.
