Drove my 64 to town tonight to get my 4-year old his first choclate soda. Can't seem to get my headlights aimed right. Used to have acess to a machine at the chevy dealership i worked at, but that was 4 grilles and 20 years ago. I have tried the 2 marks on a wall at 25 feet the same height as the centerline of your headlights method, but doesn't seem too effective. Any ideas? May have to use old blue for a huntin' rig for a while and lights would really help.

You used to be able to but a small tool from NAPA for a couple of bucks, it had a bubble level on it and it would hang from your headlight while you adjust it.

I parked my '56 about 25 feet behind the warden's Buick and adjusted to it. I put the shadow line near the bottom of the Buick's rear window and side-to-side on the tail lights.

I like to adjust them on a quiet stretch of road after dark. A really foggy night works pretty well too.
