Default Alignment question - Coverting inches to degrees.

I have been trying my hand at home alignments for the last year and wanted to have it checked out on a Hunter rack before the season starts.
Does anyone know how to convert toe specs from inches to degrees?

ie. how many degrees is 3/16 toe out? Is it read as a positive or negative number on a hunter?

thanks,
Dave

I have a little chart I use when converting from inches to degrees and back. It only applies if you are using the standard Longacre 24" toe plates:

1/16 inch = 8.95 minutes
1/8 inch = 17.91 minutes
3/16 inch = 26.86 minutes
1/4 inch = 35.81 minutes

From the charts, 3/16" toe out on a 17" wheel is -0.633 degrees toe.
