Best to have this done on an alignment machine; moving both the adjusters in or out the same amount is the way to change the camber. The camber is usually set AFTER the caster has been set up. The way to adjust caster is by way of adjusting the adjusters in or out depending on the caster being negative or positive.
Some parts stores will have a magnet with a level sticking out from it that can be used to get the camber "in the ballpark".

I have to agree with Hondadude, It's best that you have an alignment shop perform the adjustment. You're choice of the adjustable Ball Joint makes the adjusting process less Fu**d up, but you don't have the proper tools to measure the camber angle.
I've see some make a fixture for a carpenters level which would allow it to reference off the rim bead, and set the Camber angle that way, but it's very imprecise when compared to modern Bear or other Alignment Equipment.
