What is the rest of the suspension type and setup like? Alignment? What kind of bushings?
Ackerman isn't really a normally adjustable feature of front end steering geometry. And also nobody can say what will work best because it's totally dependent on what the tires want. More than likely you will want some pro-ackerman (the inside tire turns more than the outside). Most cars will come from the factory with some amount of pro-ack steering.
What you feel as being a lack of ackerman is possibly not enough caster or camber. See if you can have somebody take some good head on pictures of your car at your next event so you can see what angle your front tires are to the ground.
Fairmonts are Fox chassis cars, so I have several Mustang parts. I have a 90 Mustang K-member, 400 lb/in 8" coil-over struts, Maximum caster-camber plates, Delrin rack and LCA bushings, and '93 Mustang spindles. I think I've got 1.5° camber (because I summer daily it), and around 3° caster (because that's all the chassis will give me). Zero toe.
One other reason I think I need more Ackerman: when I maneuver in a parking lot, and one tire runs over a dried up puddle (gravel dust), you can feel the front end relax, and it changes the direction of the car, since only one tire is now calling the shots.
