MG MGA - Front wheel alignment

Seeking some expert advice. Mine's a twin cam, but I assume similar principles apply to all MGA. Just checked tracking and find 1.5mm toe out measured at wheel outer rim. Workshop Manual recommends parallel. Is this a material difference or within margin of error? Does it matter even if accurate? Should I bother adjusting it to zero?

Toe-out might make it a bit twitchy in a straight line.

Set it dead on factory spec. That is excessive toe out. It will affect the handling.

On a car like this where zero toe in is specified, if I had to be off a little one way or the other I would allow a little toe in, but never a little toe out.

Personally I like about 1/16" or 3mm toe in.

Thanks all. Looks like I will be adjusting it this afternoon.
