If the car is pulling left, the caster is probably uneven on either side. Its not a matter of more or less caster, just getting it the same on either side. For standard specs you realy need a wheel alignment machine to get it right.
But, by giveing both sides more caster (lots of caster), you will hide any little tendincy to pull one way. The more caster you have, the less accurate you have to be with getting both sides the same.
If your car is not bent, you can get it fairly good just buy counting the number of threads on each side. With my KE55 (similar to AE86), I had adjusted the caster up to as far as it can go. I think I had to back it off a little with 195/60/14 tyres so they didn't rub on the gaurds when turning.
Remember to adjust the toe back to zero after doing any of this. I have managed to get the toe ok just by bending down, closing one eye, and using some thoughtfull techniques to get it god enough. Most will need a wheel alignment machine again for this.
