About doing something with your own car. I know that is not what you are saying. Sorry if I implied that. It is a different post and topic. I know you, Bill, are not doing that. I like your thinking and inputs.
I feel that the position of the ball joint reference to the horizontal plane of the t-bar has to be lower or the control arm drooping or angling down. That is what the “c” measurement is ensuring. I believe it references the ball joint and the pivot point not the axle/spindle and the pivot point. Because of the negative camber added as the ball sweeps up along the pivot arch moving the bottom of the strut out. You can also say it moves the top of the strut “in” that is what adds the negative camber. Lower beyond that point you can keep the tires contact patch square with stiff springs and ad a stiff roll bar. To me that’s a negative effect on the ride quality. I am a soft spring big bar guy.
I will admit I am NOT a Porsche guy. And I have come to find out I do not like MOST Porsche guys. My car is definitely a hot rod.
As far as my car it is NOT a 72. It is a 66. You can tell be the position of the torsion bar hole on the side of the well. Yes it has a “72” style oil tank.
