Just in the process of putting my front axle back in and wanted to hear opinions on how much toe in to use. I plan on running radial tires. Probably 165-70-15. Doesn't seem like there is much else I can do to align it. I did use a laser to establish that the spindles were straight and centered to the frame.

I always set my toe-in zero to 1/8 of an inch. Be sure you have no toe-out. Toe out causes a shimmy. Good luck.

1/8 toe in, if you toe out its like driving on ice(not fun at all)

Past experience has proved that 1/16" to 1/8" toe in is sufficient for I beam cars especially as the tire gets wider. Running toe in larger that 1/8" only serves the purpose of hiding loose or worn linkage parts at the sacrifice of additional tire wear.
