Default Camber Measurement Conversion

I'm doing my own alignment and I'm using a leveler to measure the camber of the front and rear wheels.

The problem I'm having is, I don't know how to convert inches to degree.

If anyone knows the formula to convert inches to degree, please let me know.

Thanks

u should pick up a craftsman digital torpedo level, mine comes very handy for doing camber and chassis setups.

Inches to degrees is not a direct conversion. You are talking about the unit circle here.
