>While we're talking toe-in,
In my 1960 TR-3A I have 1/8 inch toe-in. It seems like you have to
steer the car to make it go straight. My wife complains that I weave. Would
increasing the toe-in to 1/4 inch make it go straight better? What do other
listers set their toe-in at?

Not really. Caster angle is what determines self centering. Much more
than toe-in. Cars without power steering do not have much caster because
the driver has to overcome the self-centering effect to negotiate a turn
and less caster makes for easier steering. More toe-in will just increase
tire scrub and concequently wear.
Caster is not adjustable in a TR3. (Well, yes it is if you have a frame
rack or use offset bushings.)
